‘It’s filthy…and utterly corrupt’: Tucker Carlson takes aim at Fox News as he launches new Twitter show and says the news business ‘misleads’ the public and if you tell the truth ‘you will be fired’

  • Tucker Carlson announced in a video posted to Twitter Tuesday that he is relaunching his show on the platform
  • In a three-minute long video, he slammed the mainstream media and said anyone who tries to tell the truth ‘will be fired’
  • Sources have previously said the former FOX News host is preparing for ‘war’  as he fights to be released from his $25million-a-year noncompete clause

Tucker Carlson has announced he is relaunching his show on Twitter – just two weeks after being fired by Fox News.

The ousted television host made the announcement in a three-minute video posted to his Twitter page on Tuesday in which he slammed the mainstream media and said anyone who tries to tell the truth ‘will be fired.’

‘The best you can hope for in the news business at this point is the freedom to tell the fullest truth that you can, but there are always limits,’ Carlson told his fans.

‘If you bump up against those limits often enough you will be fired for it. That’s not a guess, it’s guaranteed.’

He posted the video along with a tweet saying: ‘We’re back.’

Sources close to Carlson have previously said that the former FOX News host is preparing for ‘war’ against the network as he fights to be released from his $25million-a-year contract that prevented him from joining rival networks or starting one of his own.

But the network says it will not change a thing about its programming, even as viewers flock from the conservative news station.
