More spin, please

Daniel Henniger quotes the Pew Research Center, and comments:
"Wired Americans are more aware than non-Internet users of all kinds of arguments," Pew concluded, "even those that challenge their preferred candidates and issue positions."

Maybe the networks and big dailies should try spinning in both directions, which is what the most sophisticated political consumers seem to want. But it's probably too late for that. Rather than be spun by large, faceless networks and newspapers, people now seem to want something more akin to a political conversation with the spinners operating Web sites?


Maybe they should, but could they do it convincingly? I haven't seen a liberal argument all year. All they through out are accusations, epithets and policy wonk statistics that don't have anything to do with logic.
