Abstract

Theodor Adorno's work on radio often focused on the authoritarian effects of the medium. Nearly sixty -five years later, these writings have proven particularly vital to understanding the rise of the American Tea Party Movement. This prescience, coupled with the Tea Party's own "discovery" of Adorno and the "evils" of critical theory demons trate the ongoing necessity of the Frankfurt School's project.
