New York (AFP) – Fox News has warned Tucker Carlson, who was ousted in April from a primetime hosting slot on the right-wing station, that his new show on Twitter violates the terms of his contract, US media reported Monday. When contacted by AFP, Fox News did not immediately respond. Railing against everything from immigration policies to gun control, Carlson's show, "Tucker Carlson Tonight," pilloried liberal trends in modern America, appealing to viewers' outrage and propelling the show to the heights of cable television. After Carlson's departure, Fox News saw its ratings decline in May, while remaining ahead of its rivals such as MSNBC and CNN. The first video posted by Carlson, who has 8.3 million followers on Twitter, was viewed 115 million times, while the second video had 55.2 million views as of Monday evening.
