JOY REID (HOST): Because it does appear that in their own world that they've created, where their captive audience tells them what to do and tells them what they want them to say and they simply say it, even if it's bananas, they're going to still be able to say whatever they want, as long as they don't say the word "Dominion."
ANGELO CARUSONE (MEDIA MATTERS PRESIDENT): Yes, I think that's right. And to your point, I mean, I can back that up, actually. We looked at the first two months of the year, and Fox News attacked elections 50 -- more than 50 times, almost half the time, 50 times where they said, "It was stolen, the Democrats are going to steal it in 2024, you can't trust it."
To your point, though, the only thing they didn't do is they didn't say "Dominion."
REID: Right.
CARUSONE: They didn't say any specific entity that was responsible, but they don't need to anymore, because that narrative is there, so they can just echo it.
