BrasscheckTV: What the "news" industry hopes you never see‏

Took an unplanned break. 
 
Writing this from a wheelchair (a temporary
condition.)
 
Meanwhile, here's what really goes on in
the news departments of TV stations. 
 
Brian Springer's "Spin' - pirated news
footage (also known as "wild feeds") which
show how the news makers talk and act when
they think we're not looking.
 
Fascinating.

"Spin" by Brian Springer

One of the most important films
of the last 25 years

Using the 1992 presidential election as his springboard, documentary filmmaker Brian 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 Bush talks to Larry King about halcyon -- all presuming they're off camera. Composed of 100% unauthorized satellite footage, Spin is a surreal expose of media-constructed reality.

Footage you were never
supposed to see

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.
