About Radio Hate
This four-part series looks at the rise of right-wing talk radio in the USA. From the deregulation battles of the 1980s, to the ascent of Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, other conservative shock jocks - and their digital heirs. The first episode explores the Reagan era, as America's first celebrity president deregulates the airwaves and dismantles the Fairness Doctrine.
