In the season finale of Slow Burn: The Rise of Fox News, we look at the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, Jon Stewart vs. Crossfire, the sexual assault allegations against Bill O'Reilly, and a whole lot more ... slate.com/podcasts/slow-…

And in our final Slate Plus episode of the season, I spoke with @emilysteel about how she and the New York Times uncovered the culture of sexual harassment, settlements, and silence inside Fox News slate.com/podcasts/slow-…

The fifth episode of Slow Burn: The Rise of Fox News is about Fox's left-wing critics. What did they miss when they only focused on Fox's politics? And also: remember that time that Bill O'Reilly got Ludacris fired?? slate.com/podcasts/slow-…

And for Slate Plus: a fascinating interview with Ian McCaleb, who left CNN to become a producer at Fox News. He told us how Fox broke news, what happened when they needed to make a correction, and why he left slate.com/podcasts/slow-…

Thank you to On the Media for highlighting our series. First four episodes available now: slate.com/slowburn

In the fourth episode of Slow Burn: The Rise of Fox News, we look at Fox's critics, including The Daily Show, liberals on Fox News itself, and a whistleblower that Fox couldn't ignore slate.com/podcasts/slow-…

And in our bonus episode for Slate Plus members, I talked to Ed Helms and other Daily Show folks about how they did their jobs and how they thought about Fox News slate.com/podcasts/slow-…

For the series, host @josh_levin spoke with the hosts, reporters, and producers who built Fox News, many who’ve never spoken publicly before. And you’ll hear from Fox’s victims, who are still coming to terms with how the channel upended their lives. slate.com/slowburn

What is clear, almost three decades into the country’s Fox News era, is that Fox’s fate and America’s are bound together. Slow Burn: The Rise of Fox News is about how that happened—and how it almost didn’t. slate.com/podcasts/slow-…

In just a few years, the Fox News Channel went from non-existent to bumbling to seemingly invincible. Its sudden, shocking emergence as a cultural force and political kingmaker transformed the country, and left a mark on all of us along the way. slate.com/podcasts/slow-…

The Fox News Channel debuted 28 years ago today on October 7, 1996. In those early days, critics called the network disorganized, incompetent, and “laughably inept.” But the channel wouldn’t stay inept or invisible for long. slate.com/podcasts/slow-…

When Fox started surging in the ratings, CNN reached out to Bill O'Reilly to see if he might want to switch networks. Hear about that and a whole bunch more in episode 3 of Slow Burn: The Rise of Fox News slate.com/podcasts/slow-…

And in our exclusive bonus episode for Slate Plus members: I didn't know that Ted Turner had talked about starting his own conservative cable network before Rupert Murdoch beat him to it slate.com/news-and-polit…

I stand by these thoughts on Zach Lowe from 2016 and look forward to reading and listening to him wherever he goes next (and I’ll be reading and listening to ESPN a fair bit less) slate.com/culture/2016/0…
