Summary:

These excerpts from 500 hours of pirated "satellite TV feeds" taped by Springer during 1992 are a devastating critique of television's profound manipulativeness in the way it packages the news and politics. Includes pre-broadcast and post-broadcast footage from network sources (makeup sessions, off-camera discussions), broadcasts from various Presidential campaigns to local television stations and other sources of television never "broadcast". Illustrates the various uses of television by journalists, politicians, consultants and pressure groups to affect the political process.
