    The Rise of Fox News | 6. What Hath We Wrought?

    The 2004 presidential race would be the first fully Fox News election—a contest that was framed by Fox, and fought on its terms. But the fight over Fox News was about more than just partisan politics. It also launched covert ops against reporters and let loose a secret army of online trolls. And when a Fox producer made serious allegations against Bill O’Reilly, the network showed just how far it would go to defend its biggest star—no matter the cost. To read our full reporting on the most recent legal actions between Bill O'Reilly and Andrea Mackris, and learn more about how a non-disclosure agreement from two decades ago has kept Mackris silent, go to slate.com/foxnda.

    The Rise of Fox News | Plus: The Four Words That Revealed Fox News’ Culture of Sexual Harassment

    In 2004, former Fox News producer Andrea Mackris became the first woman to publicly accuse Bill O’Reilly of sexual harassment. Her legal filing contained four important words—“and other female employees”—that went unnoticed for more than a decade. In this exclusive episode for Slate Plus members, Slow Burn’s Josh Levin talks with the New York Times’ Emily Steel about revisiting Mackris’ lawsuit years later and how the Times’ reporting helped take down O’Reilly and uncover a culture of harassment inside Fox News.
