Nonesense 

Nonesense as distinguished from nonsense is when a person says something that appears at first glance to make sense, but in fact does not. Perfect nonesense is a circular sentence that creates a spinning sensation in the mind of the listener, from which the only escape is to move onwards to avoid focusing on what is actually being said.

Nonesense may be skillfully employed to give the impression that meaningful comments or thoughts are being contributed.

Used by politicians to induce slow-witted journalists with tight deadlines to quote them.
