Clarence Manion vs the Socialist World Order (from "Red in the Stars and Stripes?")

from Virginia Humanities · host Virginia Humanities

During the Cold War, resistance to what some perceived to be socialist policies and government overreach permeated into the airwaves of conservative radio. At the center of this pushback was a man named Clarence Manion, who hosted a program called “The Manion Forum of Opinion” for 25 years. Scholar Nicole Hemmer says in many ways Manion is the “godfather of modern conservative radio,” and that his attempt to stoke a fear of socialism in the United States can still be heard in conservative media today.
