But you are right: now this if is the key word. And it's a big if. (See what I just wrote in an answer to turgutbakmak up the thread.)
As for dispassionate reporting, of course this is rarely even possible. But often the way the spin works can be understood and then the text unspinned, so to speak. Yet sometimes the "unspinning" does not yield any useful information: whatever was there is getting lost in the process. In my experience, propaganda pieces are often constructed like that.
