O'REILLY:Let's get to the headlines. MSNBC, you say in your reporting, is pretty much taking what Media Matters puts out, and what Media Matters does is propaganda.CARLSON: Yes.
O'REILLY: And they're taking it, and they're basically throwing it on NBC's air without any kind of fact check or whether it's true or not. They just take it and throw it on the air.
CARLSON: The line that we had from someone who worked at Media Matters for a long time was, and I'm quoting now, "We basically write their prime time. Anything we write, particularly anything that pertains to FOX News." And a lot of what Media Matters writes does pertain to FOX News, they run it basically verbatim.
O'REILLY: OK. Now, is that a violation? Phil Griffin is the head of MSNBC. Obviously, he works for NBC News. I mean, is this kind of an ethical violation of the news industry?
CARLSON: Well, it's certainly dishonest. You know, what our journalistic ethics. That's an entire separate conversation. But I would say, yes, of course, it's something that viewers don't know when they're watching. It's collusion that takes place behind the scenes. There's a political agenda.
