Spinspotter’s “very beta” site allows Web surfers to spot, circle and thus work to de-spin election articles as they’re published. You can circle words and phrases like “hammered” or “sophisticated” or “You betcha” and subsequently up an article’s spin rating, which should in theory scare people away from unbiased reporting. In my experience, though, people are drawn to spin like moths to a flame, Obama to a baby, Palin to a Saks Fifth Avenue …

Anyway, I don’t know how many people know about it, because a Fox News story on Obama’s Marxist days came up spot-free. You’d think a good pair of Spinoculars would crash the whole damn FN site, wouldn’t you?

Anyway, download the app here if you want to start spotting spin.
