Thank you! Spin Spotters has been very helpfu...Wow! Thank you! Spin Spotters has been very helpful to me in my political science/journalism studies at TSU in Mo, USA. It is extremely easy to accept narratives that are spun if they reinforce your personal point of view or belief system. This has happened to all of us from time to time (last year I was really into leftist blogs)- however, thinking about the news in terms of rhetorical structure and spin helps me to stay more aware of this effect. This video tapped into a lot of important things that we really only get a glimpse of in mass communications classes. <BR/>Thanks for this awesome SPIN spotting tool! It puts critical thinking back into reading news!<BR/>And NO, this video was not biased for one party or another. you were just showing prominent examples of spin- and of media outlets reinforcing national narrativesAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11081820243837286275noreply@blogger.com
