The Spin Starts Here

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Spin Starts Here (Or TSSH as it is known amongst its loyal readership) is a collective/group blog written by a number of anonymous Australian authors who move in Political, Media, and Journalism circles.

[edit] History

Commenced in 2002, the collective/group blog was setup with the intent of knocking down the Tall Poppys within Australian society and culture. Operated by Caz and The Hack (not their real names), the site has since grown significantly since its inception claiming nearly two thousand regular members and having a group of twenty current writers.

The site has famously taken on a number of sacred cows during it's lifespan, of particular note being a campaign against Delta Goodrem where it was fictiously alleged that she had taken out a civil suit against Kylie Minogue for infringing upon Goodrem's marketing strategy. Minogue had infringed on her marketing strategy[1]. This story was accidentally picked up by Sydney-based Newspaper the Sydney Morning Herald who reported it as fact.

They have also tangled with Marieke Hardy and her involvement with the TV show Last Man Standing, written for the Seven Network and screened in 2005

[edit] Important Events

In 2005, TSSH was inducted into the Pandora Archive by the National Library of Australia for being "..of lasting cultural value"[2].
