Make up a (political?) story (4)

I believe the answer is:

spin

(Other definitions for spin that I've seen before include "This doctor deals in political publicity" , "Work natural fibres into a thread or twist a story" , "Turn rapidly on axis" , "Give biased view" , "Twist - creative media relations" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
