The Soul of the Nation with Jim Wallis
Religion & Spirituality
The Secretive Group Behind the Religious Right
Anne Nelson, author of Shadow Network Media, Money, and the Secret Hub of the Radical Right, discusses the conservative think-tank, the Council for National Policy (CNP), and its lingering effects on the greater, modern American political landscape. Nelson goes on to discuss how the collapse of local media in rural parts of the country has given way to the CNP’s tactic of creating a “parallel universe of information”:
“And he [CNP co-founder Paul Weyrich] says, what we have to do is pull people away from institutions like higher education, like public schools, like professional journalism, and create a system where they're living within our world of information. And when you have people in that parallel information system, you can get them to do pretty much anything you want.”
Jim Wallis asks what must be done to shine a light on this shadow network.
