When a politician colors events to make himself look a little better, that's spin. When a CEO who's just been fired says tells reporters he's leaving to "explore new ventures," that's spin. And if you've ever told a lover that was the best sex you've ever had, THAT's probably spin. Bill Press is the co-host of CNN's "Crossfire."
