Media Matters published a leaked video of former Fox News host Tucker Carlson bashing the network’s streaming service while he was still at the company.
“I don’t want to be a slave to Fox Nation, which I don’t think that people watch anyway,” Carlson said in the clip while speaking to a representative for Andrew Tate about an interview.
Tate was recently arrested and spent three months in a Romanian jail on suspicion of organized crime and human trafficking.
Carlson and the representative for Tate discussed what they should wear during the interview before the former host suggested that it likely would not matter because the full interview will air on Fox Nation and “nobody’s going to watch it on Fox Nation.”
“I’d really like to just dump the whole thing on YouTube,” Carlson continued. “I’m just frustrated with it. It’s hard to use that site. I don’t know why they’re not fixing it. It’s driving me insane. And they’re like making, like, Lifetime movies. But they don’t, they don’t work on the infrastructure of the site. Like what? It’s crazy. And it drives me crazy because it’s like we’re doing all this extra work and no one can find it.”
Carlson was ousted from Fox last week. It’s not clear why Fox News parted ways with its biggest star but unconfirmed reports say part of the reason was Carlson’s behind-the-scenes comments about the network’s executives.
