I bought this expecting news stories on par with the books--with the occasional interview (as in the books).
It's not. It is a farce, sensationalism over fact.
I don't recommend this for serious disinfo fans.
However, I do agree with Stealth Kitten. There are few interesting stories (She highlights most of them).

How far do you have to go to go too far for television? Disinformation found out when it aired its own TV series, hosted by Disinfo co-founder Richard Metzger, on the UK's Channel 4 TV network, challenging the network's censors and resulting in Channel 4 refusing to air certain segments. The first season was bizarrely scheduled after Ally McBeal and surely messed with the heads of more than a few fans of that show–evidently the network didn't quite realize what they had paid for. An instant classic of the weird and unusual, the series was a hit (and was bought, but never aired, by the Sci-Fi Channel in the United States). This deluxe DVD release follows hot on the heels of the publication of companion book Disinformation: The Interviews. Literary celebs interviewed include Illuminatus! author Robert Anton Wilson, popular media commentator Douglas Rushkoff (Media Virus), Lucifer Principle author Howard Bloom, X-Men scribe and comics-genius Grant Morrison, and underground filmmaker Kenneth Anger–people you rarely see on TV. Shock rocker Marilyn Manson is also featured. Disinformation: The Complete Series boasts the following features:• Two discs containing more than six hours of viewing.• Contains bonus footage–never seen before–from the legendary Disinfo.Con 2000 conference held in New York–a huge counterculture event in New York City's Hammerstein Ballroom that was described by the New York Times as "Cyberpalooza"–including exclusive footage of Robert Anton Wilson, Marilyn Manson, Joe Coleman, Kenneth Anger, Grant Morrison, Adam Parfrey, Douglas Rushkoff, Kembra Pfahler (and the Girls of Karen Black) and more!
