Brett Favre supports Tucker, urges boycott of Fox News.

Former Packers Quarterback Brett Favre Calls for Boycott of Fox News

Former Green Bay Packers star quarterback Brett Favre is taking a stand against Fox News. In a social media post on Monday morning, Favre called for a boycott of the network in response to the sidelining of prime time host Tucker Carlson and revelations that the media giant is working to silence him until after the 2024 election.

Favre Stands with Tucker

“I’m with Tucker. Time to boycott Fox until they come to their senses and let the man speak,” Favre wrote in his post. He also shared a clip of Megyn Kelly blasting Fox News, in which she warns viewers that the media giant is “banking” on them coming back to the network when the primaries begin to heat up.

• Kelly explained:
• “They are banking on you coming back to them. They’ve got a debate in August. You can’t resist. You’ll go. You’ll forgive everything. They’re banking on it. DeSantis is likely to announce this month. You’re gonna turn on Fox News. You can’t go to CNN. You’re not gonna go to Newsmax. You’re not going to go to digital media. You’re gonna tune in to the Fox News primetime, you lap dogs. It’s what you always do. It’s how they have billions.”

As Breitbart News recently reported, Fox News executives are reportedly seeking to sideline Carlson through the 2024 presidential election as part of their attempt to supposedly reassert control of the network. Carlson’s contract runs through the 2024 presidential election, but sources say that Carlson is trying to negotiate an exit package.

Carlson Fights for His Freedom to Speak Out

Despite the series of seemingly strategic leaks to leftist media outlets such as Media Matters and the New York Times, conservatives are not turning against the former prime time host. A recent survey from The Economist/YouGov found a plurality viewing Carlson at least somewhat favorably. Most Republicans and Trump 2020 voters, 68 percent and 72 percent respectively, feel the same way.

Meanwhile, Carlson is reportedly gearing up to attack Fox News and fight for his freedom to speak out and continue his career elsewhere. As the battle between Carlson and Fox News heats up, it remains to be seen how viewers will respond.
