Brian Springer - Spin

Thanks. I haven't seen it, but this looks like it might be the full documentary: ▶ this video Here's the part where the documentary explains how he got all the behind-the-scenes footage: ▶ this video . TLDR - raw video from remote studios were first beamed via satellite to the Network's HQ for editing and "packaging". But back in those days, people with satellite boxes could intercept and view the raw pre-packaged feeds.

>I haven't seen evidence for it as the norm. You might like Spin , a 1995 documentary composed of unauthorized behind the scenes footage of the political maneuverings of newscasters and politicians. ▶ this video

This was an excellent review of a book that has been given standard reviews elsewhere. I may be buying this book. The content reminds me of the documentary film 'Spin': * 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 are off camera. Composed of 100% unauthorized satellite footage, Spin is a surreal expose of media-constructed reality.* Yep, H W Bush was on Halcion, not good!!! link A highly recommended film given the election season and on youtube too: ▶ this video
