spin machine
Political narrative factory
A spin machine is the apparatus of public relations strategists, press secretaries, and communications staff who work to shape how events are perceived.
The term casts organized messaging efforts as mechanical and relentless: The campaign's spin machine went into overdrive after the debate gaffe.
It implies coordinated manipulation rather than straightforward communication.
