Fox Corporation issued a cease-and-desist-letter to far-left Media Matters, demanding they stop sharing leaked footage of Tucker Carlson.
“We write on behalf of FOX Corporation to clarify any misunderstandings Media Matters may have had regarding previously unaired footage that Media Matters has published in a series of articles headlined ‘FOXLEAKS,'” the letter declared.
“That unaired footage is FOX’s confidential intellectual property; FOX did not consent to its distribution or publication; and FOX does not consent to its further distribution or publication.”
“This proprietary material was given to you without FOX’s authorization. FOX demands that Media Matters cease and desist from distribution, publication, and misuse of Fox’s misappropriated proprietary footage, which you are now on notice was unlawfully obtained. We reserve all rights and remedies,” the message concluded.
As The Daily Fetched reported last week:
Far-left Media Matters published a series of “FoxLeaks” in a failed attempt to hurt Tucker Carlson after he parted ways with Fox News. However, the videos, which Media Matters obviously believed would damage Tucker’s reputation, only brought him more support.

Media Matters president and CEO Angelo Carusone issued a statement in response to the Fox letter.
“Reporting on newsworthy leaked material is a cornerstone of journalism. For Fox to argue otherwise is absurd and further dispels any pretense that they’re a news operation. Perhaps if I tell them that the footage came from a combination of Wikileaks and Hunter Biden’s laptop, it will alleviate their concerns,” Carusone said.
Last week, more speculation swirled as to why Carlson was fired from Fox News.
It was later reported that Rupert Murdoch held a phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy just weeks before Tucker’s ouster.
Carlson broke ranks from other media reporters by openly talking about the United States deepening involvement in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, asking questions about the money being sent to the country.
Another clue came in reports that senior members of the military-industrial complex celebrated Carlson’s departure, with one official declaring, “Good riddance!”
“We’re a better country without him bagging on our military every night in front of hundreds of thousands of people,” one senior Defense Department official said.
