Photodegradation is a chemical process by which certain materials -- Vitamin C and some plastics for example -- deteriorate when exposed to light. Recently, while conducting a kind of experiment of my own, I discovered another material that is highly photodegradable: progressivism.
I have been producing a documentary film series about conservative talk radio in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (you can see parts one through four at www.libertyorlies.com). The documentary consists of interviews with local conservative talk show hosts as well as some of the area's most prominent critics of the format.
I call it Liberty or Lies? As the title suggests, it is an attempt to answer the question of whether conservative talk radio in Milwaukee -- or anywhere else -- is a legitimate expression and advocacy of American liberty, or just a bunch of hateful, racist lies. I am a conservative and a fan of conservative talk radio and have always believed the latter criticism to be baseless. But the relentlessness and ubiquity of the charges have long given me cause to wonder, "What are they hearing that I'm not? Are they right, somehow?"
Past analyses of this debate have, in my opinion, proven scant, superficial, and disingenuous; so I sought to really penetrate the brouhaha over conservative talk radio and present my findings thoroughly, soberly, and respectfully to as wide an audience as possible. My goal was to produce the documentary to the broadcast standards of Milwaukee Public Television and submit it to them for airing.
