CHAPTER

Grassroots Boycott and Media Influence

This chapter explores a grassroots boycott led by a Miami chiropractor against U.S. trade with Cuba, amplified by right-wing radio hosts and a satirical poem. It highlights the activism of housewives concerned about the Vietnam War, leading to significant economic repercussions for Polish ham exports. The chapter also delves into the regulatory challenges faced by right-wing broadcasters as liberal groups mobilize under the Fairness Doctrine, setting the stage for the evolving landscape of media and political discourse.
