Spin
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.

Pretty interesting. Especially when you consider that this dish system isn’t used anymore. They all come with subscription services and preprogrammed converter boxes now.
Seems to me if you know your tech you can use a converter box to do anything u chose. You can even activate your dvr without paying for it; download movied from your dvr to your computer; and probably can go into all feeds running on air. Just takes the knowledge to do this. its just a converter box not a space ship.
Excellent documentary. Lots of unique, excellent footage. Much of it of highly famous people like Bush Senior, Clinton, Larry King, Al Gore, etc not aware of themselves being recorded. Strongly recommended to all, even those aware of the issue beforehand.
i like how the producer/director not only dished out a bunch of footage but strung together a very convincing and despite its running time entertaining narrative.
you get a sense that the guy knows how the media circus plays us. and how much they are in bed with the political establishment.
indie documentary craft at its finest.
Larry King is a very strange little man.
nothing really earth shattering here.
