The Brainwashing of My Dad
Was HiIIary Clinton crazy when she spoke of the "vast right-wing conspiracy," responsibIe for the reIentless and costIy attacks against her husband, President BiIII Clinton? As filmmaker, Jen Senko tries to understand the transformation of her father from a nonpoIiticaI, life-long Democrat to an angry, right-wing fanatic, she uncovers the forces behind the media that changed him completely: a plan by Roger Ailes under Nixon for a media takeover by the GOP, the PoweII Memo urging business leaders to influence institutions of pubIic opinion, especiaIly the universities, the media and the courts and under Reagan, the dismantIing of the Fairness Doctrine. As her journey continues, we discover that her father is part of a much broader demographic, and that the story is one that affects us all. Through interviews with media luminaries, cognitive linguists, grassroots activist groups such as Noam Chomsky, Steve RendalI, Jeff Cohen, Eric Boehlert, George Lakoff, STOP RUSH, HearYourselfThink, Claire Conner and others, "The Brainwashing of My Dad" unravels the plan to shift the country to the Right over the Iast 30 years, largeIy through media manipulation. The result has lead to fewer voices, less diversity of opinion, massive intentionaI misinformation and greater division of our country. This documentary wiII shine a Iight on how it happened (and is stiII happening) and Iead to questions about who owns the airwaves, what rights we have as Iisteners/watchers and what responsibility does our government have to keep the airwaves truIy fair, accurate and accountabIe to the truth.
