The Brainwashing of My Dad: The Corrosive Effects of Far-Right Media (with Jen Senko)

Jun 17, 2022
51:20

This week's guest is documentary filmmaker and author, Jen Senko, whose brilliant work The Brainwashing of My Dad tells the story of not just how her father Frank literally became a different person due to the effects of far-right media, it also tells the story of how conservative media became such a powerhouse.

More than likely, you have friends, family, friends or other acquaintances who have been sucked into the cult-like vortex of far-right conservative media, imbibing from a constant drip-tap of propaganda, misinformation, disinformation, outrage politics, and conspiracy theories.

If you despair that they will ever return to their pre-cult like state of normalcy ever again, Jen's  work offers up hope that a person who falls down that rabbit hole can actually regain their authentic self once again.
