This documentary series from IFC reads between the lines when it comes to the news. Each episode takes a humorous, infuriating, and always unflinching look at the various influences at work behind the media, providing skewed perspectives that many Americans never question. The series uncovers motivations like ratings, corporate string pulling, and political influence, and also examines the consequences of biased and unprofessional news reporting, testing how it changes people's opinions, and discovering how frighteningly successful news agencies can be at pushing through a decidedly unjournalistic agenda.
