If you have ever seen "Brainwashing My Father" it pretty much tells the story of how it happened to one guy.

Iowa has no liberal media. Something like 15 for right wing radio outlets in all the major cities. I have a close friend who has sort of chronicled RW media in Iowa. Here is a link to one of her most recent posts on the subject:

When Sinclair TV picks up Tribune Media TV stations, Sinclair gets something like 4 more outlets to feed into Iowa.

This is not s whole lot different than Wisconsin, Kansas or damn near anyplace else in the country.

The long vision takeover of media dates clear back to Lewis Powell's memo in 1970. Republicans have played the long game knowing full well that they can buy the political system. Dems are only now waking up to what has hit them.
