Spintraction (noun):
The ancient dark art practiced by FOX News sorcerers, political handlers, and Washington Post wizards, wherein a completely irrelevant story — like a senator’s cousin’s TikTok or a staged culture war shouting match — is inflated into a national crisis to ensure no one notices the billionaires robbing the treasury, the planet melting, or democracy coughing up blood in the alley.
A portmanteau of spin and distraction, it’s the elite-approved mind confetti blasted into your face 24/7 so you’ll argue about American Eagle jeans while the masters of the universe rewrite the Constitution in a cigar lounge and bet on who will build the first resort on the beach in Gaza.
