In Slow Burn’s 10th season, host Josh Levin takes you back to a crucial inflection point in American history: the moment between 2000 and 2004 when Fox News first surged to power and a whole bunch of people rose up to try and stop it.You’ll hear from the hosts, reporters, and producers who built Fox News, many who’ve never spoken publicly. You’ll also hear from Fox’s biggest antagonists—the political operatives, journalists, and comedians who attacked it, investigated it, and tried to mock it into submission. And you’ll hear from Fox’s victims, who are still coming to terms with how a cable news channel upended their lives.

Thanks for your effort to make new content each and every time
So this otherwise fascinating podcast on how women have objectified their own Bottoms throughout history as a mating strategy is really about racist 'Booty Appropriation ' by white people?

Eery how similar this scenario feels as others have pointed out. I found it oddly comforting to hear politicians changed their stance on Nixon instead of creating even wilder narratives and excuses.
Thomas Sowell and Clarence Thomas, both great champions of Black Americanism. Racism is harmful in all its forms, both white supremacy racism and affirmative action racism.
their og jingle had the number 854-2020!! love this episode! 😊
the familiarity of this is sickening......
This podcast does the issue of abortion a severe disservice by making it "both sidesable." The arguments made (including those made by the Wilkeys) are based in emotion and religion. In contrast, there is strong empirical evidence that access to reproductive healthcare corresponds to drastic improvements in socioeconomic status, health equity, and maternal mortality. I urge Slate to disregard opinions that mainstream science rejects.
I am horrified by the lack of remorse from Kiki and the guy filming on the street. You almost kill someone, but it's not your fault. It's justified to beat strangers because you got caught up in the moment. Brutal.
There's something wrong with the hosts bladder... way to many breaks.
i knew it was only a matter of time before they would mention trump, lol!!!!
my heart has been pulled from my chest. 😢
This article is really amazing. Thanks for the information. Keep sharing such a post.
