Left Forum 2011 - The Tea Party and the Media


 

Left Forum 2011
Pace University, NYC
March 18-20, 2011


What is the "Tea Party," and how and why did this movement exercise so much leverage in the 2010 midterm elections? What role did the media play in the movement's rise and electoral success? And how can leftists and progressives use their own media to counteract the propaganda that has fueled right-wing mobilization for decades?
