Brooks Jackson and Kathleen Hall Jamieson Quotes

"Spin" is a polite word for deception.  Spinners mislead by means that range from subtle omissions to outright lies. Spin paints a false picture of reality by bending facts, mischaracterizing the words of others, ignoring or denying crucial evidence, or just "spinning a yarn"—by  making things up.
