As was revealed on the eve of the Dominion FOX trial, texts from Tucker Carlson — which would have become public during the case — forced FOX into settling.
Dominion is now saying ‘We hope it all gets un-redacted’ as they took credit for his firing.
‘Dominion did not insist on them firing Tucker Carlson as part of the settlement.
‘But the very fact that that’s what resulted out of all of this, and it’s traceable from the work that Dominion set in motion.. of course I know what’s in the redacted stuff and I can’t say anything about it.
‘I hope that it all gets un-redacted at some point,’ Shackelford, a partner at Susman Godfrey LLP, told Axios.
As part of their defamation lawsuit, they unearthed texts from Carlson proving that the host knew Trump’s claims were false but continued to mislead their TV audiences.
Not only that, but the discovery process revealed ugly insulting texts Carlson made about his bosses at FOX, as well as key political figures.
In this example, he calls Trump’s lawyer, whom they continued to praise in live coverage as ‘nuts.’
A New York Times report claims Carlson called one senior Fox News executive a ‘c**t’.
Let’s hope it all gets un-redacted.
