The correct answer is C. Spin

Step-by-step explanation:

In media, advertising and politics, "spin" occurs as information is intentionally manipulated or displayed to support a specific point of view and in this way make the audience support or reject something. This implies in politics a real event or campaign can be inaccurately present to advertise or support a certain idea. This occurs in the example presented because two different news outlet had manipulated information to make the president's action look in a certain way, in the first one the actions are presented as reasonable, but in the second they are presented as horrible.
