On this edition of Your Call, we’re airing part two of our interview with Anne Nelson, author of Shadow Network: Media, Money, and the Secret Hub of the Radical Right.
We're delving deeper into her research about the Council for National Policy, a network of evangelicals, oil barons, gun lobbyists, and Republican operatives working to dismantle the social safety net and civil liberties. What will it take to organize and fight this powerful machine? And why aren’t the national media doing a better job of connecting the dots?
Guest:
Anne Nelson, research scholar at Columbia University, and author of several books, including Shadow Network: Media, Money, and the Secret Hub of the Radical Right
