Artist Brian Springer spent a year scouring the airwaves with a satellite dish grabbing back channel news feeds not intended for public consumption.
The result of his research is SPIN, one of the most insightful films ever made about the mechanics of how television is used as a tool of social control to distort and limit the American public’s perception of reality.
Take the time to watch it from beginning to end and you’ll never look at TV reporting the same again.
Tell your friends about it.
This extraordinary film released in the early 1990s is almost completely unknown.
Hopefully, the Internet will change that.
Using the 1992 presidential election as his springboard, Springer captures the behind-the-scenes maneuverings of politicians and newscasters in the early 1990s. Pat Robertson banters about "homos," Al Gore learns how to avoid abortion questions, George H. W. Bush talks to Larry King about Halcion -- all presuming they're off camera. Composed of 100% unauthorized satellite footage, Spin is a surreal expose of media-constructed reality.
The film documents behind the scenes footage of Larry Agran who unsuccessfully sought the Democratic Party nomination for President. Agran was generally ignored by the media during his candidacy, a topic covered in the documentary. The media did not report his polling numbers even as he met or exceeded the support of other candidates such as Jerry Brown. Party officials excluded him from most debates on various grounds, even having him arrested when he interrupted to ask to participate. When he managed to join the other candidates in any forum, his ideas went unreported.
Spin is a followup of the 1992 film Feed; for which Springer provided much of the raw satellite footage.

One of the earliest (and BY FAR, one of the best) Benghazi documentaries, but so much more than that besides,
Raw, ready and totally straight to the heart of the matter, I think this one even predated the FIRST set of Issa Committee Government Oversight Star Chamber Hearings, which places in the last fortnight of September 2012.
Just a couple of corrections to the record that we didn't know then, but then subsequently have learnt
(and which the vast majority of people have now completely forgotten again)
Firstly, this predates the revelation of there in fact being TWO attacks that night, six hours apart, at two locations, around half a mile from one another, under very different circumstances.
Secondly, and far more crucially, Hankey's analysis leads him all the way to the brink of the paradigm leap he almost but never quite makes regarding the central question of his piece :
"Why DOES Mitt Romney want to be President so badly, what is he hiding and what does he really stand for,,,?"
The actual answer, we now know, was: "He doesn't".
Tagg Romney said his father "wanted to be president less than anyone I've met in my life," according to the Boston Globe.
“He had no desire,” the eldest Romney son said. “If he could have found someone else to take his place ... he would have been ecstatic to step aside. He is a very private person who loves his family deeply and wants to be with them, but he has deep faith in God and he loves his country, but he doesn’t love the attention."
The behaviour and actions of Elliot Cohen and other PNAC Veterans, Zionists and NeoLiberal Fascists make it plain - they were runninghim and stetting him up to get utterly screwed once his usefulness to them was once more at an end....
