Spin moves through the L.A. riots and the floating TV talk-show called the 1992 U.S. presidential election.
Um documentário sobre a lendária série de debates, transmitidos pela TV nacionalmente em 1968, entre dois grandes intelectuais públicos, o liberal Gore Vidal e o conservador William F. Buckley Jr. Produzidos para comentar as questões de seu dia-a-dia, esses encontros ácidos e explosivos vieram definir a era moderna do discurso público na mídia, marcando o momento da grande explosão de nossa paisagem de mídia contemporânea quando o espetáculo superou conteúdo e o argumento substituiu a substância.
