Miacademy & MiaPrep Learning Channel

This educational video explores the increasing political polarization in the United States during the 1990s through the lens of political talk radio. Using a creative format where the narrator drives through traffic while tuning into different radio stations, the video demonstrates how liberal and conservative media outlets spun key historical events differently. It covers major political moments including President George H.W. Bush's tax increase, Bill Clinton's election and tax reforms, the 1993 Health Security Act, the 1994 Republican Revolution, the 1996 Welfare Reform, and Clinton's impeachment.
