Now, by any logical process, in order for there to be counter-spin, there has to be spin first.
This is not a chicken and egg thing; very simply put, nothing can be counteracted unless it exists.
And you will likely recall that spin is another word for hype, bullshit and lies.
So if we take this phrase - uttered by the Premier back in April - based on the meaning of the words, counter-spin would be a positive action in that it is intended to dispel hype, bullshit, lies, half-truths and other forms of misrepresentation and even outright deception contained in whatever spin existed in the first place.
Yet the positive action of dispelling falsehood is somehow negative?
What an odd notion.
And what a truly queer idea: that a government so overwhelmingly popular might be somehow deflected from its mighty accomplishments by concerns for what must surely be - given the almighty popularity of the government - entirely without any impact at all.
