A lie is a falsehood made by someone who knows it is false. There is no evidence that she knew it was false. Also, as Heybruce pointed out, this happened 2 years ago. At least as recently as early January, Tucker Carlson was still engaging in defending vaccination quackery. Given the huge amount of scientific evidence that has been accumulated since Maddow made her comment, if Carlson isn't lying, then he should be fired for cluelessness.

What do their rating have to do with the fact that these commentators knew that they were peddling lies? And, given Fox News viewers appetite for fiction (election was stolen) why should we be surprised that Fox is doing so well? And keep in mind that all the cable news programs skew to a much older audience.

Both Dershowitz and Turley, unlike most of the community of legal scholars, thought that Durham last 2 cases were strong. They also supported Judge Aileen "Loose" Cannon's appointment of a Special Master which got tossed scornfully by a panel consisting of 2 conservative and 1 liberal judge. And Carlson's lies about covid vaccines endear him to you?

And really not a deflection Fox News' Worst Lies About Covid-19 From 2021 A recent study from the Kaiser Family Foundation found that Fox News viewers are more likely to believe covid-19 falsehoods than people who consumer other mainstream news sources. And yet, Fox News itself has a covid-19 vaccine mandate, despite talking heads on the channel railing against them. https://gizmodo.com/fox-news-worst-lies-about-covid-19-from-2021-1848285665

Well, it has an audience that prefers fiction to fact (thanks, ballpoint).
