The media, love it or hate it, is part of the mojo that makes America great. But do you ever wonder the effects of listening/watching too much cable news? As an example, people who watch Fox News or listen to Rush Limbaugh seem to be more angry than usual (source), or tend to have more hate on the particular group of individuals.
Well, check out the trailer of a new documentary, The Brainwashing of My Dad’ by Jen Senko (The Vanishing City) where she taps in on this very issue.
Check Trailer Below:
Full Synopsis:
“Right-wing cable news and “conservative” talk radio attract older Americans like graying moths to an angry flame. But why would someone who was either apolitical or a Democrat in younger days become addicted to conservative talk shows in their twilight years? Filmmaker Jen Senko wondered how her WWII veteran and Kennedy Democrat father had been transformed into a Fox News fanatic, suddenly and inexplicably railing against minorities, homosexuals, poor people, and Democrats. Using her dad as an entertaining example, Senko pulls back the curtain to expose the tools and tricks of the wizards behind the right-wing media revolution. And in discovering what happened to him, Senko reveals the all-too-chilling bigger picture of what’s happening behind-the-scenes to influence our national discourse.”
