Wednesday’s PBS NewsHour featured a chat with radical (Pulitzer Prize-winning) journalist Wesley Lowery about his new book on how white Americans and the Republican Party became scared and possibly dangerous racists after Barack Obama’s election. Lowery was making the book-tour rounds publicizing American Whitelash. Lowery, formerly a journalist for the Washington Post, recently became executive editor of the Investigative Reporting Workshop at American University, which was partnered with the left-leaning PBS investigative series Frontline.
