Application that identifies Spin in articles


http://spinspotter.com/home
I haven't tried it yet but it does look interesting.
From the website:
Welcome to SpinSpotter
All the news that's fit to de-spin.
Spin doesn't belong in the news. It's like putting motor oil in the mojito. We have tremendous respect for journalists, but who would argue that the media circus isn't out of control? A full 66% of Americans think the press is one-sided. Now there's a website and software tool that exposes news spin and bias, misuse of sources, and suspect factual support. At SpinSpotter, you'll experience the news in a profound new way. Yes, the truth is back in town.
