Who can explain why in the face of all of the recent revelations about Fox, the network is on every TV on every American military base in the world? And why Armed Forces Radio is still hosting so many right wing hate talkers?

I felt a lot of hope after watching 'The Brainwashing of My Dad' (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FS52QdHNTh8), a brilliant documentary by Jen Senko. She follows her own inquiry into her father's personality change after he got hooked on Fox. She discovered the history of this technique as well as the fact that her dad was not an isolated incident—then gives us a primer through interviews with experts and scholars. Finally, Senko shows how her family welcomed her dad back to reality. A courageous and intimate film. Highly recommended.//And, as always, thank you, Ruth!
