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!!!

A highly recommended film given the election season and on youtube too:

- wu-ikkyu 10y agoVery poignant ending. "See, everyone watches"
- jevinskie 10y ago"Spin" is surreal. Thank you very much for the pointer! Are satellite uplinks scrambled/encrypted these days? If they uplink via something like MPEG-TS, I don't imagine it would be too hard.
