"I worked in the media from the late 30's through the early 70's. Politics in general became more liberal both nationally and within the state as the years passed"

Jesse Helms was a political leader that worked in the media from the late 1930s to the early 1970s. During this moment, he observed a change in politics in the direction of a more liberal stance. This change was seen both on a national degree as well as within the state. This might be credited to the transforming social and also political climate of the moment, as well as the increasing influence of modern suggestions. The civil rights activity, the Vietnam War, and also the rise of the counterculture all contributed to the liberalization of politics. Helms' experience in the media gave him a special viewpoint on the altering political landscape, and his quote mirrors this.
