MSNBC's Joy Reid and Vanity Fair's Gabriel Sherman discussed potential legal action against Fox News for its early coverage of the coronavirus. Sherman reported that there is internal concern at Fox that the network could be held liable if viewers died after believing the virus was downplayed. The hosts point out the hypocrisy, noting that MSNBC and other networks were equally guilty of comparing the virus to the flu in early 2020.

The HBO series "Succession," modeled after the Murdoch family, recently featured the phrase "pump the brakes," illustrating the frequency illusion. This phenomenon occurs when a person notices a specific word or object, like a Toyota Prius, everywhere after recently learning about it.
