But their audience is realigning spin with its true meaning--deception.

I like this. Hope to hear some guests use it, "That's not spin, it's deception!"

From a previous post at:

Neal Boortz-8-18-04-THE MOVEON.ORG TELEVISION AD

It's all part of the template. If you can spin a story so that it looks favorable to Kerry, and bad for Bush ... do it.

People need to quit mislabeling deception by calling it spin. The main stream media has created the deceptive mislabeling of deceit 

Just call it deceit and if by chance the author merely made a mistake the publisher can correct the error the next day. At that time the person accusing the author of deceit and the publisher a facilitator, he or she can make a correction of their own.

Calling deceit spin confuses and obfuscates. It detracts from achieving clarity and logic. Which is just what the main stream media aims for. People that unwittingly call deception spin have allowed the main stream media to set the rules -- to fabricate status quo definition of certain words.
