In the world of politics it is called spin.

I'm reminded of this scene from Exorcist III:


Mrs. Clelia: My radio. Aren't you going to fix it? Nothing ever gets fixed round here. Just a whole bunch of pies and anchovies. Go away. I don't ever talk to strangers.

Dt. Kinderman: I'm the radio repairman, Mrs Clelia.

Mrs. Clelia: Well then, fix it.

Dt. Kinderman: What's wrong with it?

Mrs. Clelia: Dead people talking. It's right here. Do you see it?

Dt. Kinderman: Yes. I see it.

Mrs. Clelia: I just knew you weren't really a radio repairman. That's a telephone I'm holding.
