It is part of politics to make things look better than they really are. What is a spin doctor but a serial euphemiser?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've never had much interest in spinoffery - the idea of writing in someone else's universe generally leaves me cold - but 'Doctor Who' is different. I've grown up with it. It's been part of my life since I was tiny, watching Jon Pertwee on a grainy black and white television in Cornwall and being terrified out of my mind.
The media are obsessed with spin doctors and with portraying them as a bad thing, yet seem addicted to our medicine.
The politics have always been difficult in medicine. There is some truth in the way medical practice is portrayed in TV dramas.
You can spin stories out of the ways people understand and misunderstand each other.
The media loves negative spin.
I'd call it a new version of voodoo economics, but I'm afraid that would give witch doctors a bad name.
This aesthetic quality, then, is what politics is all about. It's authenticity that separates winners from losers, good politics from bad, and he-man leader-types from consultant-directed puppet-boys.
Everyone loves to hate a spin doctor.
Public policy is designed by spin doctors who aim to keep our heads below the water. The public good is not a consideration, and their self-serving agendas prevail over common sense.
I don't like when people try to put a spin and have a second agenda to make a person look bad.
