Dread-head discovered 4 weeks ago- Meant as humour, but more serious than that. How to read/hear news.

- From the page: "Spin. We all know it exists. The newsreaders, commentators and pundits all attempt to persuade others to accept their own point of view on events. This is what has become known as "media spin". Some are obvious in their efforts, some are quite subtle. The knowledgeable listener is ever alert to this spinning so below is offered a humble guide to help you in your watchfulness." We hear and see it every day.Tune in carefully!

- How to read spin - supposed to be funny, but it is much more accurate than journalists will admit.
