Disinformation, also known as Disinfo Nation, is a television show hosted by Richard Metzger.[1] It was aired for two seasons on Channel 4 in the UK as part of their late night "4Later" programming block.[2] Called a "punk rock 60 Minutes" and "wilder than Jackass" by the Los Angeles Times and Wired respectively, the sixteen 30-minute episodes produced for C4 (and several segments never aired in the UK) were then cut down to four one-hour "specials" intended for the Sci Fi Channel in America, but never aired due to the controversial nature of what was portrayed on screen.[3] According to interviews Metzger was told just twelve days prior to the first specials' air-date that he would have to cut 50% of the material from the show in order to pass the USA Network's corporate lawyers' scrutiny.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Those four shows have subsequently been released on a DVD with a second bonus disc presenting highlights of The DisinfoCon, a twelve-hour event featuring shock rocker Marilyn Manson, underground filmmaker Kenneth Anger, painter Joe Coleman, and others such as Douglas Rushkoff, Mark Pesce, Grant Morrison, Brother Theodore, and Robert Anton Wilson.[4]
