Just using this as an example. There are two ways to look at deficits. If a nation goes into a deficit for long-term good - I would argue that deficit may be worth while. If a nation goes into deficit for short-term gain at a harm to long-term good - I would argue the deficit is not worth while. Aside from the straw-man argument (I never heard anyone say deficits don't matter), why does it seem this subtlety is lost by those who make the kind of argument above?

Correct, OReily's claim of a "no spin" zone is b.s. I know it, you know it, I think everyone knows it. I just see the phrase as an advertising gimmick. He is not the only one who uses advertising gimmicks. But, I think the major network news shows and some newspapers like the NY Times do this with much greater pretense.
