Amanda Terkel of ThinkProgress has a blow-by-blow timeline of an ambush by Jesse Watters, a producer for Fox News’ “The O’Reilly Factor” who asks accusatory, leading questions of people Bill O’Reilly doesn’t like. Terkel lives in Washington, but Watters stalked her on a vacation jaunt into Virginia.

Watters and his camera man accosted me at approximately 3:45 p.m. on Saturday, March 21, in Winchester, VA, which is a two-hour drive from Washington, DC. My friend and I were in this small town for a short weekend vacation and had told no one about where we were going. I can only infer that the two men staked out my apartment and then followed me for two hours. Looking back, my friend and I remember seeing their tan SUV following us for much of the trip.

What had Terkel done to deserve this? She’d seen that O’Reilly was going to speak at a fundraiser for a rape survivors’ group, and pointed out that O’Reilly had once accused a woman who was raped and murdered of dressing too sexy and being in the wrong place.

This isn’t a career highlight for Watters, but at least he’s never had to settle with an employee who accused him of sexual harrassment.
