I actually do agree with the latter definition of "cynicism." We, as a society enjoy dwelling on the negatives that encompass our lives. Because of that, I fully support someone in politics and the media taking a situation and turning it into something positive. We think poorly on this because it makes us believe we are being lied to when we are really just seeing the other side of things. We may not appreciate knowing about the spin or the process it may take us through, but if something positive can come out of it for all involved, the better off we will be and the quicker we can move on.
