How to Spin Bad News
"I wonder what kind of spin they can put on that!"
Any News Broadcast
You hear about this all the time in the media, mostly relating to news coming out of some political venue. They are talking about how someone can present negative information in a way that makes it sound like it's a good thing. It's not really lying, it's not "disinformation" but it's not a straight-forward presentation either. In many ways, it's the essence of politics.

If it's not done properly, however, it's obvious and transparent, and nothing good will come of it.

If you've sustained an injury, large or small, you may end up with a scar. It's a natural and healthy outcome in the process of wound healing. The collagen in the deeper layers of your skin becomes exposed and rises to the surface to "close" the wound and in the process, forms a scar. However, that's not to say that we can't influence the way that scar tissue will mature, and in many ways appear, during the process. Here's how to minimize your scar.
