Fantastic Documentary "Spin" from around 1992 about how the US news media spun the elections and news events of the time.

A famous one was doing a telephone poll of who was gonna vote. It came in wrong, because only the rich and well off could afford phones in those days. Something like that anyway. :D Just goes to show you, you can't always get your facts and numbers right. :)

I agree it's a great film. I saw a few years ago, and I've still got it on a DVD somewhere. It was (is?) available to download in good quality (not great, as the source material - the feeds off of presumably a VCR?) from a website which I think was connected to the maker(s). I think it was about 2GB and was just a regular link to download.

I especially liked the Larry King feeds. I can't figure that guy out politically - which is the way it should be for a guy who hosts a flagship show on a news channel!
