Spinsanity - Countering rhetoric with reason
Description
About Spinsanity
Spinsanity was founded in April 2001 by Ben Fritz, Bryan Keefer, and Brendan Nyhan, three recent college graduates who were distressed at the growing dominance of spin in American politics and determined to do something about it. The trio started Spinsanity as a nonpartisan watchdog dedicated to unspinning misleading claims from politicians, pundits and the press.
The website grew slowly at first, but soon picked up readers through word of mouth, links on weblogs, and citations in the mainstream press. Over time, the editors' criticism of commentators such as Ann Coulter and Michael Moore, analysis of dishonest statements by politicians of all partisan stripes, and debunking of myths spread by the media began to draw attention from a large and influential audience, including journalists who came to use Spinsanity as a resource.
Today, Spinsanity is one of the Internet's most popular and widely cited independent political websites. The editors' work has been cited in scores of national and international media outlets, including CNN, Fox News Channel, the New York Times, and the Washington Post, and they have appeared on numerous radio and television shows including "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" and "Hannity & Colmes." In 2002, they were featured columnists on Salon.com. Currently, they write a weekly column every Thursday on the commentary page of the Philadelphia Inquirer.
