Video: Spin (documentary, 57 minutes long)

video.google.com — This 1995 documentary shows (at 16:43) how the media excluded Democratic candidate Larry Agran during the 1992 US elections, just like they are doing now with Ron Paul and Mike Gravel.The media did not report his polling numbers even as he met or exceeded the support of other candidates. Agran argued for cuts in defense spending.

    Funny how it was also ABC News back then, just as this week, who messed with the poll:
    "...a poll showed Agran's support at 4%. He had passed Brown, and was the fifth leading candidate. When ABC's Sunday Evening News reported this poll, they simply deleted Agran entirely by not reporting his candidacy."
