Mr. Robert Sandler had Dr. Brian Rosenwald, a professor from U Penn come to his AP U.S.History class to discuss his book, Talk Radio’s America: How an Industry Took Over a Political Party That Took Over The United States. His talk focused on the rise of conservative king of radio, Rush Limbaugh and how he forever changed the media landscape and the Republican Party. Dr. Rosenwald also reviewed the elimination of the Fairness Doctrine during the Reagan Era and how this opened the door to a polarized political culture. The students found his talk fascinating & we had a great Q&A session.
Below is more on his background and his book.
