Podcasts about brainwashing of my dad

About This Episode In this insightful episode, Jen and I trace her father's complex journey through the rabbit hole pf conservative mass media and his eventual return. Guided by the profound insight that “we don't see things as they are, we see things as we are”, we utilize theories as lenses to interpret and understand new phenomena. We also discuss approaches proposed by Steve Hassan and Jim Stewartson, and how the complexities of radicalization and deradicalization might necessitate a broader spectrum of perspectives.  Instagram Twitter Watch Jen's Documentary!

Jen Senko talks about her fascinating documentary and the book of the same title which gives even more detail of the information war waging in the US. Jen's dad Frank was a thoughtful, considerate man who became a raging fanatic when his information sources were restricted to right-wing media - especially Fox "News" and Rush Limbaugh. Jen found that this plague has touched many families in the US. It seems astonishing that a literate, intelligent man who spoke seven languages could have been pulled into this hateful echo chamber. Jen gives us a remarkable perspective on the machinations of the right and the need for us to check our information.

With Trump's Indictment, the GOP is being described as the Cult of Trump, and the other GOP candidates are scrambling to figure out how to position themselves. Come listen to a fascinating talk with the award-winning documentarian Jen Senko on her film, The Brainwashing of My Dad, and the book based on it. Jen Senko's experience with her father, Frank, hits close to home for many Americans today. Frank was a happy-go-lucky progressive Democrat when he came across a talk radio show hosted by Bob Grant. He started being more critical of Democrats and was somewhat combative about it. When he fully retired, he discovered Rush Limbaugh and listened to him for three hours daily. Then he started watching Fox News. At that point, his personality changed. He was always angry and couldn't have discussions with his family anymore without them turning to politics. She delves into the experts who use social psychology to recruit and indoctrinate people. The good news is her father comes back to himself—a fascinating interview. Of course, as the author of the Cult of Trump, I weigh in. Learn more about Steven Hassan and Freedom of Mind Resource Center. Visit freedomofmind.com Learn more about your ad choices.

My guest for today's interview show, the great Charlie Pierce, had to re-schedule so I'm bumping my chat with Charlie to Friday, same day as the After Party pod. Meanwhile, here's an encore presentation of my January 2019 interview with Jen Senko, the director of the documentary The Brainwashing Of My Dad (watch the trailer here). The movie's about the toxic influence of Fox News and AM talk radio on some of our closest friends and relatives. I think we all have a family member who’s been indoctrinated into the Fox News cult, and Jen’s film not only details the reasons for this but also ways in which we can de-program our loved ones.

Jen Senko is the director of the documentary film The Brainwashing of my Dad, released in 2016. The film tells the story of how her father had a drastic change in personality after slowly getting sucked into a rabbit hole of conservative talk radio

In this episode of Social Justice Warriors, Matt Buckley interviews Jen Senko, who is the director of the documentary film The Brainwashing Of My Dad. The Brainwashing Of My Dad details the effects that listening to right-wing talkback radio  had on her father. Prior to listening to right-wing talkback radio, Jen Senko's father was an open-minded and compassionate person who was largely apolitical and tended to vote for the Democrats. After he started listening to right-wing talkback radio on his drive to and from work each day, he became a hateful, dogmatic, right-wing fanatic. The film shows that listening to right-wing talkback radio and watching Fox News has had the same effect on numerous other Americans. The film also details how the U.S.A.'s right-wing media industry came about.

9 am Eastern, Thursdays, "The Tufts Get Going!" host Rosanna Tufts: "The Brainwashing of my Dad." (No, not MY Dad.) Jen Senko's father used to be the sweetest guy in the world, never had a bad word to say about anyone . . . until he started watching a steady diet of Fox News and right-wing talk radio. When she asked, "what happened to my Dad?" she soon discovered thousands of other people who had lost family relationships to the same toxicity. They too were asking, "what happened?" Jen found the answer went all the way back to Nixon's awkward performance at the Kennedy-Nixon debate in 1960! In her new documentary film, "The Brainwashing of my Dad," Ms. Senko tracks the development of right-wing media and its insidious language.

Claire Conner, author of "Wrapped in the Flag," joins MOMocrats Karoli, Cynematic and Donna Schwartz Mills to talk about the new documentary, "The Brainwashing of My Dad," which traces how the filmmaker's father went from an easy-going, Democratic voter to an angry old man spouting right-wing tropes - thanks to a long commute listening to talk radio. Conner, whose parents were founding members of the John Birch Society, is interviewed in the film and has much to say about the Bircher talking points that have made their way into the platform of the modern Republican party.

Jen Senko was worried about her dad. A self-described Kennedy Democrat, Frank Senko was a peaceful, loving husband and dad whose political views were never much of an issue between him and the world. Until one day, on his long commute to work, he discovered talk radio… and Rush Limbaugh in particular. After that, Frank was never the same. JEN SENKO podcast excerpt: "Fox shouldn't have the right to call itself 'News'; it's mostly commentary." You can LISTEN to this interview with documentary filmmaker JEN SENKO, director of THE BRAINWASHING OF MY DAD, by clicking the audio player above! He soon framed and announced a long list of people that he hated. And when he found the Fox News Channel, he went completely bonkers. He was angry all the time. If Rush or Fox told him something, he was unquestioning in his acceptance of it as absolutely true. His wife, his three children – Jen and her brothers – as well as extended family, friends and co-workers, one day found a stranger living in their midst, a hate-spewing, nasty, bigoted monster paranoid of everyone’s beliefs around him. He trusted no one outside of his growing, far right-wing conservative circle of TV and radio hosts, newsletter writers, website propagandists and pamphleteers. Aghast at what had become of Frank, Jen—a filmmaker who had received good notices for her first release, The Vanishing City—decided to seriously investigate what had happened to him. JEN SENKO podcast excerpt: "(Long-time Republican operative) David Brock knew. He was in the trenches. He was an 'elf.' He was on the team to take down (President Bill) Clinton. He spilled the beans (on the 'vast right-wing conspiracy'). His conscience got to him; he felt guilty." // The resulting film, The Brainwashing of My Dad, is a serious examination of the rise of right-wing media—“The Noise Machine,” as it is called—and its fact-free assault on the Constitution, civil rights, liberal advocacy and much more. Senko, who shares narration duties with actor Matthew Modine, assembled a film that reveals the motivations of Roger Ailes, Clarence Thomas, Antonin Scalia, Richard Nixon, the Heritage Foundation, and the John Birch Society. The film, which recently left the festival circuit and began theatrical, iTunes, Google Play and Vudu distribution, was completed before the rise of Donald Trump, presidential candidate, but it makes for excellent background material to explain the Republican businessman’s angry rise to political power. Key interview moments: • 3:05 Filmmaker Jen Senko dealt with multiple delays in getting The Brainwashing of My Dad to the silver screen, but the rise of Donald Trump, GOP political candidate, made her eventually timing perfect; • 12:10 Even Democrats scoffed at Hillary Clinton's mid-1990s claim of "a vast right-wing conspiracy" -- until long-time Republican operative David Brock confirmed her accusation was true; • 20:20 Senko questions whether Fox News Channel should be allowed to use the word "News" in its name.
