MSNBC’s
Chris Hayes opened his show Friday night going off on the anti-vaccine propaganda spreading on the right, and he again called out hosts on Fox News.
Hayes asked Media Matters President & CEO
Angelo Carusone about the “just-asking-questions trollingly, you know, opposition to any pro-vaccine moves.”
Carusone in particular pointed to the incredibly irresponsible commentary from
Tucker Carlsonspeculating about people dying after getting the covid-19 vaccine.
“A very, very minor conspiracy theory that was circulating online in the fever swamps,” Carusone said. “And he plucked it out of there and gave it a lot of push and that was really when things started to shift over at Fox News.”
