Then Ninehauser says the process repeats itself over and over again, becoming "further ingrained with the next round of scare-mongering and sensationalized story telling."
Hmmn" Like Sean Hannity talking to Donald Trump about what he says is a lack of violence at his rallies: "Well, I don't see any violence at Trump rallies. I've been watching and flipping the dial tonight. And somehow people are trying to flip this on you." No violence? Hannity's 2.5 million viewers on Fox News and 14 million listeners on talk radio believe it, and then share the false information on social media and emails, creating its own echo chamber.
The beat goes on. And on. And on.
The millions of us who can no longer have a discussion at the dinner table without erupting into a battle knowingly nod at Senko's title, "The Brainwashing of My Dad." Yet for all its revelations, it is a light hearted film about a real family, one that at the end makes us want to stop fighting and give each other a good hug instead. Senko: "It is my hope that by lifting the curtain on what the right-wing media is doing to the very fabric of our country, by shedding light on both its tactics and agenda, families and the nation can begin to heal."
It is must see for this political season, and premieres Friday March 18 for
a one week run in Los Angeles' Laemmle Music Hall (Producer Matthew Modine will be on hand Friday and joined by Jen Senko Saturday
for the 7:10 screenings,) and New York's Cinema Village theaters, (Senko
will answer questions after the Friday 7 PM screening.) Theaters nationwide are
booking the film due to popular demand, and it is available via Video on Demand
March 18.
