Trump has also said he feels that participating in the debate would allow his GOP rivals to attack him needlessly. <\/p>\n<p>Fox hosts and executives have, at the same time, been urging Trump both publicly and privately to participate in the first debate, which is sure to serve as a major <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a> spectacle and be one of the biggest ratings nights for the channel of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s reported selecting of Carlson to host a counter-programming event of sorts to the first debate can be seen a significant slight to Fox, the cable news giant for which Carlson was at one time its top-rated host.  <\/p>\n<p>Fox pulled Carlson off the air in April just days after it agreed to pay Dominion Voting Systems $787 million to settle defamation claims brought by the company in connection with the network\u2019s airing of false information about its software being promoted by Trump and his allies. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>As part of the months-long litigation, Dominion unearthed internal communications from several top executives and hosts at Fox showing them throwing cold water on Trump\u2019s false claims of widespread voter fraud and criticizing the former president. <\/p>\n<p>Among those communications were text messages from Carlson, who in one widely-publicized message wrote he \u201chated\u201d Trump \u201cpassionately\u201d and expressed he \u201ccouldn\u2019t wait\u201d until the network was able to ignore him. <\/p>\n<p>Other messages sent by Carlson showed him disparaging female executives at the network and complaining about how the company was being run in the days following the 2020 election. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Since being ousted by Fox, Carlson has started an online version of his popular prime time show on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. <\/p>\n<p>Fox earlier this year sent Carlson, who is still under contract with the network, a cease-and-desist letter over his new online show, claiming he had violate the terms of his contract.  <\/p>\n<p><em>Brett Samuels contributed reporting<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar Media Inc.
