”“[Affecting]…liberals will have their worst suspicions about the right-wing mediasphere confirmed.” - Publishers Weekly” - Publishers Weekly“Jen’s story is brilliant and gives us all insight about what we can do when lying right-wing media seize the minds of our friends and family.” - Thom Hartmann, New York Times bestselling author and progressive talk show host“The Brainwashing of My Dad is a pure delight—breezy to read while telling a compelling personal and big-picture story. The evolution of Jen Senko’s dad from playful dad to crusty conservative and then back again is the lens through which she reveals the last 40 years of rightwing media propaganda. But while Senko details the corrosive grip that characters like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity have had on our society, she inspires us with the redemption of her father and the superb suggestions to counter the spread of right-wing extremism. Read it and act!” - Medea Benjamin, author, activist, and cofounder of CODEPINK
