In a fusion of text and image Rosler represents the NBC Nightly News and other broadcast reports to analyze their deceptive syntax and capture the confusion intentionally inserted into the news script The artist addresses the fallibility of electronic transmission by emphasizing the distortion and absurdities that occur as a result of technical interference Stressing the fact that theres never a straight story Rosler asserts her presence in a charactergenererated text that irolls over the manipulated images isolating excerpts from her sources In Roslers barrage of media information the formal structure is inseparable from her political analysis
