Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show and today's AM special episode where we take a deep dive today into Duke lacrosse accuser Crystal Mangum admitting once and for all that she made up that entire story. This is such a crazy story on so many levels, you guys.
And for me personally, it has an additional layer because this is the story on which I cut my teeth as a young reporter at Fox News. Many of you may remember that. I actually heard a lot of people, saw a lot of people tweeting at me and emailing us saying they do remember our coverage.
Because it was not only a massive travesty of justice, almost, almost, but it was a massive travesty of journalism. And virtually everyone was sinful. I will be honest. I don't remember anyone other than yours truly and Dan Abrams. at Court TV at the time, reporting honestly on this case, reporting accurately on this case.

Everyone, everyone else in the media rushed to judgment because what was alleged in this case, for those of you who were not around or too young to care, or it's just been a long time. was that on March, I don't remember the date, but in March of 2006, three Duke lacrosse players gang raped a woman of color, a black woman from Durham, North Carolina. That's where Duke is located.
And Durham has a not well-off side of town, and it is a majority-minority town. So these are three white boys at Duke on the lacrosse team and one black stripper who claimed she'd been gang raped by them. I mean, just in those allegations alone, you can see and feel how explosive it was and would have been. And it allegedly happened at a house in which the Duke lacrosse team was holding a party.
So it wasn't just these three. It was the team. And this hit the media like wildfire. They loved this story. Now with retrospect, we've got some 19 years of dealing with this version of the news media under our belts. So you're not surprised to hear that given those dynamics, the racial differences, the class differences, the gender differences that the media rushed to judgment against these boys.
