The Brainwashing of My Dad

　　Jen Senko, a documentary filmmaker, looks at the rise of right-wing media through the lens of her WWII vet father who changed from a life-long, nonpolitical Democrat to an angry, right-wing fanatic after his discovery of talk radio on a lengthened commute to work. In trying to understand how this happened, she not only finds this to be a phenomenon, but also uncovers some of the forces behind it: a plan by Roger Ailes under Nixon to create a media for the GOP; the Lewis Powell Memo, urging business leaders to influence institutions of public opinion - especially the universities - the media and the courts; and under Reagan, the dismantling of the Fairness Doctrine - all of which helped to change the entire country's direction and culture, misinformed millions, divided families and even the country itself 　　译文(2): 珍 · 森科(Jen Senko)是一名纪录片制作人，她通过她二战老兵父亲的视角来看待右翼媒体的崛起。父亲从一个终身从事非政治性工作的民主党人变成了一个愤怒的右翼狂热分子，因为他发现了在长时间上班途中收听电台谈话节目。在试图理解这一切是如何发生的过程中，她不仅发现这是一种现象，而且揭示了其背后的一些力量: 尼克松时期罗杰 · 艾尔斯(Roger Ailes)为共和党创建媒体的计划; 刘易斯 · 鲍威尔备忘录(Lewis Powell Memo) ，敦促商界领袖影响公众舆论机构——尤其是大学——媒体和法院; 里根时期，废除了公平原则——所有这些都帮助改变了整个国家的方向和文化，误导了数百万人，造成了家庭分裂，甚至国家本身
