Spin is a polite word for a lie. Spinners mislead by means of truth, just as effectively as by means of falsehood.
Spin doctors are a modern plague. If there was any justice in the world, they'd be made to live in their own bulletins.
The problem with spin is not the spin itself but when it becomes an alternative to truth.
A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.
