Storyline
In this documentary, audiences are taken on a satirically comedic yet enlightening journey deep into the art of crafting American spin. Filmmaker Robert Kenner unveils a clandestine cadre of immensely charismatic, articulate pundits-for-hire who, despite portraying themselves in the media as scientific authorities, actually aim to sow widespread confusion regarding thoroughly researched public concerns, spanning from toxic chemicals and pharmaceuticals to climate change.
