Buckley Put Liberal America On The Firing Line By Heather Hendershot, simply sit when you remain in office and open up the browser. You can locate this Open To Debate: How William F. Buckley Put Liberal America On The Firing Line By Heather Hendershot lodge this internet site by attaching to the web. Review Hendershot lauds Buckley for the intelligence, honesty, wit, civility, and élan with which he developed meaningful dialogues A cogent reminder of what political broadcasting could be. (Booklist (starred review)) Clever a good introduction not only to Buckley and smart conservative thought but (strange concept) a sadly disappeared politics of civility. (Los Angeles Times) William F. Buckley and his long-running, unique show Firing Line provides a window (if sometimes a curved mirror) through which to see a turbulent and transformative time in American politics. If you want to step into a time machine for a look back, this book is your ticket. (Ira Glasser, American Civil Liberties Union Executive Director 1978-2001 (retired), currently Board President, Drug Policy Alliance) Hendershot does more than tell the history of a uniquely influential show and personality; her thorough, compelling, and very readable book provides a three-decade journey through the center of the nation s intellectual life. (Publishers Weekly) A thoroughly researched work replete with intelligence, admiration, balanced criticism, and even a bit of nostalgia. (Kirkus Reviews (starred review)) From the Back Cover On his pioneering TV program Firing Line, William F. Buckley debated his opponents with insight, openness, and respect a far cry from the shouting matches of today and set the stage for the triumphant return and ultimate victory of the conservative movement. When Firing Line premiered in 1966, just two years after Barry Goldwater s devastating defeat, American

liberalism was ascendant. Though the left seemed to have decisively won the hearts and minds of the electorate, the show s creator and host, William F. Buckley relishing his role as a public contrarian made the case for conservative ideas, believing that his side would ultimately win because its arguments were better. As the founder of the right s flagship journal, National Review, Buckley spoke to like-minded readers. With Firing Line, he reached beyond conservative enclaves, engaging millions of Americans across the political spectrum. With his magazine, syndicated column, radio appearances, and television show, Buckley pioneered the role of the pundit in the modern media age. Yet unlike so many of today s talking heads, he refused to pander to his audience s basest prejudices or to hype hot-button cultural issues. Each week on Firing Line, Buckley and his guests the cream of America s intellectual class, such as Tom Wolfe, Noam Chomsky, Norman Mailer, Henry Kissinger, and Milton Friedman debated the urgent issues of the day, bringing politics, culture, and economics into American living rooms as never before. Buckley himself was an exemplary host: he never appealed to emotion and prejudice; he engaged his guests with a unique and entertaining combination of principle, wit, fact, and a truly fearsome vocabulary; and he displayed genuine affection for many of his adversaries. If Buckley were alive today, he would be appalled at the decline in insight, respectability, and cogency in conservative discourse and in political discourse generally. Drawing on archival material, interviews, and transcripts, Open to Debate provides a richly detailed portrait of this widely respected ideological warrior, showing him in action as never before. Telling much more than just the story of a television show, Heather Hendershot crafts a history of American political and intellectual life from the 1960s through the 1980s one of the most contentious eras in our history and shows how Buckley emerged as the vanguard voice of modern conservatism. About the Author Heather Hendershot is professor of film and media at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She is the author of Saturday Morning Censors: Television Regulation before the V-Chip, Shaking the World for Jesus: Media and Conservative Evangelical Culture, and What s Fair on the Air?

OPEN TO DEBATE: HOW WILLIAM F. BUCKLEY PUT LIBERAL AMERICA ON THE FIRING LINE BY HEATHER HENDERSHOT PDF A unique and compelling portrait of William F. Buckley as the champion of conservative ideas in an age of liberal dominance, taking on the smartest adversaries he could find while singlehandedly reinventing the role of public intellectual in the network television era. When Firing Line premiered on American television in 1966, just two years after Barry Goldwater s devastating defeat, liberalism was ascendant. Though the left seemed to have decisively won the hearts and minds of the electorate, the show s creator and host, William F.

Much more than just the story of a television show, Hendershot s book provides a history of American public intellectual life from the 1960s through the 1980s one of the most contentious eras in our history and shows how Buckley led the way in drawing America to conservatism during those years.

Most helpful customer reviews 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. enjoyable and funny than I would have expected from a book about... By My Banana has a First Name This book is a fascinating mix of "you are there as it happens" and careful analysis and retrospect of one of the longest running shows on TV. Meticulously researched and masterfully crafted, it is more thrilling, enjoyable and funny than I would have expected from a book about Firing Line. I'm a bleeding heart liberal, but one can't help admire Buckley as observed through the lens of Professor Hendershot. I highly recommend it no matter what political stripe you may wear, if you yearn for open debate and literary pugilism, this is the book we have been waiting for, and a welcome respite from the election season. 0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. WFB, an American icon By Vickie Mullins A great read in spite of the author trying to color the book with her liberal crayons...just ignore her and enjoy a journey back into civil political and intellectual discourse of the highest level...when the fly of her bias comes buzzing, just swat it and keep going...you will be rewarded by her good research and excellent writing... 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
