See, evil spin has despiteful creators behind it. This is the kind of spin that takes the statistics, findings, or quotes and manipulates them to work in their advantage.
It’s up to us to stay smart on topics and continue to question. Fifty-four percent of Americans say they do not trust what the read in the media, according to market research firm, Harris Interactive, so it is on us to get smarter.
