Before Bill O’Reilly and Glenn Beck, there was Jesse Helms. From in front of a camera at WRAL-TV, Helms forged a new brand of southern conservatism. Bryan Thrift mines over 2,700 WRAL-TV “Viewpoint” editorials to offer a lens on the way the various elements of modern American conservatism cohered into an ideology couched in the language of anti-elitism and “traditional values”.
