Today is a great day to think about the destructive legacy of right-wing media. A good source on that is the book Race-Baiter by NPR media critic Eric Deggans. https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/eric-deggans/race-baiter/ #kirkusreviews

There’s also Rushed to Judgment by David Barker. https://www.google.com/search?q=rushed%20to%20judgment%20by%20david%20barker. More to come....

Per Hilary Parsons Dick in "Mexican and Central American Migration in the Time of Trump," one thing we don't talk about enough is how much DJT owes to the discursive strategies of conservative news programs, such as those of Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and Sean Hannity.
