Hmmm

The new Bank of England inflation report is out.

Guardian headline: "Bank of England governor dampens hopes of swift UK recovery"

Times headline: "Bank of England talks up hopes of strong recovery"

(The Times seems nearer the mark; the report increases the GDP and inflation forecasts. I think the Guardian made the mistake of listening to Mervyn King's spin rather than actually reading the report.)

I've only really heard spin used when referring to deceptive, disingenious or highly manipulative tactics, not just giving your interpretation of the facts. Making any kind of opinion spin seems a little OTT.
