They seem to.The problem is that spin doctors are no more educated in politics than you or I,They read the news,the internet then come up with their own version of it.So if we are too lazy to think for ourselves,they whatever they say to us is true.

Spin Doctors have always been around in politics it is just the "NEW" Modern name for them any one who takes whatever a politicians says and redefines or "Clarifies" it for the ignorant amongst us is a "SPIN DOCTOR" and it is NOT just in politics wall street has been doing it for years they call it advertising , artistic license or "Any Other" name you wish to call it ...
