Kansas City Star: ‘Fear and paranoia.’ Grandson says Andrew Lester bought into conspiracies, disinformation

Kansas City Star (4/20/23 ([link removed]) )

This week on CounterSpin: The grandson of the elderly white man who shot a Black teenager in the head for ringing his doorbell told ([link removed]) the Kansas City Star that their relationship had unraveled as his grandfather began watching "Fox News all day, every day," and sank into a "24-hour news cycle of fear, of paranoia." Those words had a poignant resonance for many people who feel they've lost family members and friends to a kind of cult, that's not secret, but pumped into the airwaves every day. Hate-fueled and hate-fueling media have political and historical impacts—and interpersonal, familial ones as well.

The Brainwashing of My Dad ([link removed]) —the 2016 film and the book based on it—reflect filmmaker, activist and author Jen Senko's effort to engage the multi-level effects of that yelling, punching down, reactionary media, as well as how we can respond. We hear from Jen Senko this week on CounterSpin.
