SPINNING OFF A BOOK: The three Spinsanity guys have announced that their first book will soon be released:
All the President's Spin will provide the definitive non-partisan account of the Bush administration's unrelenting dishonesty about public policy. The book will demonstrate how the White House has broken new ground in using misleading sales tactics to promote its policies and manipulate the media.
Bryan, Ben and Brendan feel compelled to preemptively respond to criticism that the negative focus on the Bush administration will represent a departure from their non-partisan mission:
In short, this is not a partisan book, nor are we changing the nature of our analysis. Our commitment to non-partisanship is steadfast; we will continue to hold Democrats and liberals accountable on the website, in our Philadelphia Inquirer column and elsewhere. But being non-partisan does not require that everything we write be mechanically balanced between criticism of both sides. In the future, we may well write books or articles focusing exclusively on liberals or Democrats, who have become increasingly aggressive in their rhetoric in recent months. But after almost three years of critiquing spin, we believe that Bush's presidency is the most important subject for an in-depth analysis.
Given Spinsanity's outstanding track record of fair and principled criticism of all sides, the book is likely to be a valuable contribution.
