Videos of former Fox News host Tucker Carlson continue to leak, painting the host in a negative light. During The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show Wednesday, Sexton said that’s something he and Travis don’t have to worry about.
“We inherited Rush (Limbaugh)’s team. So we inherited the best in the business, not only in terms of their being really good at what they do but also proving a loyalty and a trustworthiness to Rush and his enterprise, not only personally but professionally for over 20 years,” said Sexton.
“Anyone in the media knows if you have people around you — in your immediate sphere — who want to cut what you say off-camera out of context, who want to get some sort of oppo or compromising material based on off-air conversations, we’re in a business where you’re talking a lot, and that puts you in a precarious position,” Sexton admitted. “So where is this stuff coming from? Megyn Kelly has already come out…and she is straight up suggesting that this is coming from Fox News.”
Sexton’s comments on the situation came after Travis, a Fox News employee who sold his digital outlet OutKick to the network two years ago, said it has been a fine place to work since he joined.
“In my experience, Fox has been very good to work with,” Travis said. “But I also understand that in the grand scheme of things, when you are not the boss, you never get to make all the decisions. Sometimes bosses make decisions, and you look at them and say ‘I don’t know’. I don’t know all the details on why this occurred…I’ve been fired several times in media…unless you’re the boss, you serve at the beck and call of your employer. And your employer — no matter how good you may be — you or someone else may find yourself out of a job.”
