Jen Senko is a filmmaker who watched in horror as her father slowly came to believe the extreme right-wing lies of Rush Limbaugh and other conservative media mavens. Now she’s making a documentary about it calledThe Brainwashing of My Dad.
Senko’s first documentary, Road Map Warrior Women, won recognition with several festival awards. Her most recent film,The Vanishing City,co-directed with Fiore DeRosa,exposes the economic policies that have made New York a city for the rich. The Vanishing City won Best Feature Documentary in the Williamsburg International Film Festival,Best Short Documentary in the Harlem International Film Festival,and Honorable Mention in the Los Angeles International Film Festival.
Rory O’Connor,a filmmaker and author whose works include the book,Shock Jocks: Hate Speech and Talk Radio,interviewed Senko about her film.
Rory O’Connor:Tell us about the origins of your film. When did you first notice your dad’s ‘brainwashing,”and when did you determine to make a documentary film about it?
Jen Senko:I remember the first time I really noticed it. My dad picked me up from the bus station when I was visiting from New York. On the way home we passed a Hooters and he started complaining about the “attack” against Hooters by the establishment,and saying how silly it was and how it interfered with our freedom.
He was frighteningly angry—excited,argumentative, belligerent… I didn’t understand why. I tried to change the subject and said something about all the SUVs I was seeing on the road—this was in the ’80s, when they first came out. My dad had always been a “non-waster” and tightwad—anytime he got gas he marked it down in a little book to keep track of how much he was spending—so I thought he would agree. I was flabbergasted when he got even angrier and threatened to pull over and let me hitchhike the rest of the way home.......

Oh for crying out loud. I will personally make donations to her dad to make a documentary about the idiots he probably paid to fill her head with this commie bullcrap.
Invasion of the ipod people: find out your children aren’t even human anymore.
Anyone that deviates from the party line must be sent to reeducation camp. It is only a matter of time before FOX is put in its place.
Anbother adolescent flick slated to be a hit with inbred, pseudo-intellectual types and college profs of Leftist leanings, then die on the vine after endless ridicule from serious people all across the country.
Third Reich Child.
In a word ... bullshit.
I miss the Salon death watch pings. Let me go and find their stock price.
I guess she just loves all the devastation that her beloved liberalism has caused, huh?
The brainwashing is deep with this one.
All your children are belong to us.
Sincerely
The Government
If your brain is full of crap ... it needs to be washed.
Why is 'brainwashing' such a negative?
My pastor practices brainwashing in every sermon.
Why? Fox is steadily trying to join them.
Can’t click on a salon link but I dont see anything in excerpt about the merit of the ideas just that she can’t support anything from the evil right.
Whaaaaattt?
Is it a full moon tonight?
This pretty much sums it up for her. She's a privileged liberal elite working for a hip liberal WebRag and only her thoughts are normal. Her facts are hers concocted for the benefit of her point. She states that 72% of Limbaugh's audience is over 65 when it is only 11%, etc. She's full of more crap than a Christmas turkey, IMO. [https://www.quantcast.com/rushlimbaugh.com?country=US] Loves NYC but did a film how it is vanishing because it is only for the rich people now, neglecting to attribute a lot of that to Bloomberg who wants that Tax Money. In short, if you google her image, you'll see a very lovely but mentally damaged woman who won't date a Republican in her on-line dating. My son loves these types of women - good looking, liberal, a little nuts....he gets plenty of action there in NYC with this type; he just doesn't tell them he is a Conservative. It is why he won't come home from that evil place.
Jen, you ignorant slut.
Sounds like her dad had other problems, and just fixated on political issues. If she thinks that only the right behaves that way, she should pretend to some new liberal acquaintance that she’s a dyed in the wool Republican, and just watch the fur fly! I’ve had libs get almost apoplectic on me. Getting all wound up and shouting about the issues is NOT just a “Republican” trait.
“Why? Fox is steadily trying to join them.”

Well, you do have a point. I now watch less and less, as every time I go there, I see that fatso Beckel, Juan the Moron, Alan Colme, or some other filthy leftist. FOX and Aljazera are the only news on my G-sat.
FOX may be the final jewel in the Marxist crown.
I really get ALL of my news and views on Free Republic.
He commuted long distances to his job. He paid for her education and probably pays to support her now in her career making left wing film documentaries that few people will ever see. She is probably not a tightwad and spends her father's money freely without a care.
She now considers herself superior to her father. She is making a documentary ridiculing her father and his beliefs. The film will make him seem like a total idiot and be edited to depict her father in the worst possible way.
The only good thing for her poor father is that almost no one will see this film.
