the.com/spin doctor

means A publicist or political strategist whose job is to shape how an event is interpreted, presenting it in the most favorable light possible.

from Born in American political jargon in the 1980s, fusing two older ideas: 'spin,' the deceptive twist a pitcher or pool player puts on a ball to make it curve away from its expected path, and 'doctor,' used since the 1700s as a verb meaning to tamper with or falsify something (as in 'doctoring' the books). Put together, a spin doctor doesn't lie outright — they just put a curve on the facts so they land somewhere more convenient.
