"Spin" [Documentary] (Video)
In the early 1990s, director/producer/new media artist Brian Springer
learned that it was possible to pick up and record raw satellite feeds

interview with a news anchor, etc.). Springer recorded these feeds
through the 1992 American presidential election campaign and went on to
create “Spin”, a most revealing behind-the-scenes probe into the media
