Re: "Spin." The Clinton White House, aided by its media friends, turned the term, "spin," into a euphemism for "lie."

To put a "spin" on facts is to provide an interpretation of them. In distinction, the Clinton administration made statements of fact (usually denials) that contradicted the facts.

"Propaganda Machine," not "Spin Cycle" might have been a better theme for Howard Kurtz's book. Hmmm. Maybe he should write another.
