It sounds like to me that what you're saying is  that "spin" and free speech don't go hand in hand. Without argument and things like rhetoric we end up like a dictatorship or a bunch of corporate cronies who take orders and never talk back or debate that there maybe a better way or that something could be wrong. No sir, I like spin and I defend free speech and with it comes a liar or two along the way sometimes. A price worth paying for freedom of speech if such a thing truly exists anywhere. Otherwise, women still wouldn't be able to vote and blacks would still be sitting on the back of buses or any other number of liberties that were spun in the right direction. Spin, rhetoric or I like to think of it as possibilities is part of a free society and to stand against as to silence it is un-American and anti democratic in nature.

That's my view on "spin".
