'The lying of Fox News and its damages to Dominion are significant. But the real damage is much deeper and more dangerous.'
However much the facts might seem to call these lies into question, Carlson and his collaborators will continue to repeat them and many millions of their followers will continue to accept them and to act on them. Does anyone really believe all the lies? We can't know.
