(10,345 posts)You must acknowledge spin as a fact of life in politics correct?
Both of these "acknowledgements" are neither official statements nor cited material.
Do you believe everything they say on the TV? I'd hope not.
Fact is, editors and writers are free to insert things like this into their articles without the need to cite anything. If it were true, then I'd expect a quote, or even a generic "statement from a campaign official who is familiar with both parties". But this, honestly could just be the author having a little fun.
Second to that, what polls would they be agreeing on? That's left out as well, curious. It only lends further credit to the idea that this statement was creative thinking.
Again, don't believe everything you read. This is politics after all.
Don't let it get the best of you.
