- Description
- Episode Description
- Joe Mitchell Cobb, editor-in-chief of the Chicago-based New Individualist Review is interviewed by Donald Fouser. Cobb expresses a point of view espoused by many of the younger extreme conservatives in the United States. Cobb advocates a drastically reduced role for government in American life and calls for private industry to operate such programs as the public schools and the massive federal highway construction project. Cobb also takes issue with right-wing leaders such as William F. Buckley Jr. and the Rev. Billy James Hargis whose positions, he feels, are too colored by their religious beliefs. Among those serving on the editorial board of Cobbs publication are Dr. Milton Friedman, University of Chicago economics professor, Newsweek columnist, and Barry Goldwaters chief economic advisor during the 1964 presidential campaign, and Dr. FA Hynek, professor of political science at the University of Chicago and a noted conservative ideologist. The Dissenters: Joe Mitchell Cobb was produced for National Educational Television by its Boston affiliate, WGBH-TV. This program was produced through the facilities of WTTW-TV, Chicago.
