Key Notes
Glossary
A political narrative that preserves some facts but arranges them so the ruler's culpability disappears.
diagnosis
Jiang says AIPAC's public case for Section 224 is spin because it refutes a straw man about Israeli control while leaving intact the real concern about merged strategic decision-making.
diagnosis
The dangerous gossip is that David killed Uriah because Uriah was a threat; the safer spin is that David was an irresponsible lover who made a mistake.
diagnosis
Jiang says the Bible's Abner story contains real elements, such as David feasting with Abner and Joab killing Abner, but its explanation that Joab acted from private anger cannot be true.
model
The Abner story is presented as spin that makes the truth almost impossible to see if one accepts the official account.

diagnosis
Jiang says Nathan's accusation makes David's offense appear to be stealing a wife, but the real crime is that David had Uriah killed.
model
Jiang compares ancient royal spin to modern media spin, saying many people believe media distortions because they have no interest in not believing them.
