Spinsanity view detail comment email this

Spinsanity editors believe that public political debate is increasingly dominated by manipulative spin rather than by reason. Each week the editors "counter rhetoric with reason," analyzing and documenting biases in articles and speeches to improve the soundness of public debate. Resources include a mission statement, analytical background, information about the editors, current and past columns back to April 2001, and an e-mail list with posts searchable back to April 2001.
