During Election Year 1992, media artist Brian Springer tapped into the raw satellite feeds of various news broadcasts to create SPIN (1995), a damning portrait of the American media. We look back on a time when "Larry King Live" was considered a radical experiment in television democracy, and when giants (Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush, Pat Robertson) walked the earth. PLUS: Bernie Sanders, anti-Semitism, and Britain's hot, hot, hot new political party.
