Description: After her beloved dad got addicted to right - wing talk radio and Fox News Jen Senko feared he would never be the same again Frank Senko had always known how to have a good time. Despite growing up in a poverty - stricken family during the Depression and having to fight his way to middle - class status as an adult he tended to look on the bright side. But after a job change forced Frank to begin a long car commute every day his daughter Jen noticed changes in his personality and beliefs. Long hours on the road listening to talk radio commentators like Rush Limbaugh sucked her father into a suspicion - laden worldview dominated by conspiracy theories fake news and rants about the "coastal elite" and "libtards" trying to destroy America. Over the course of a few years Jen's dad went from a nonpolitical open - minded Democrat to a radical angry and intolerant right - wing devotee who became a stranger to those closest to him. As politics began to take precedence over everything else in her father's life Jen was mystified. What happened to her dad? Was there anything she could do to help? And most importantly would he ever be his lovable self again? Jen began the search for answers and found them as well stories from countless other families like her own. Based on the award - winning documentary The Brainwashing of My Dad uncovers the alarming right - wing strategy to wield the media as a weapon against our very democracy. Jen's story shows us how Fox News and other ultra - conservative media outlets are reshaping the way millions of Americans view the world and encourages us to fight back.
