this time try reading closer, left wing spin does not equal biased towards democrats. They spin to the left as much (if not more so) that Fox spins right. And there are plenty of non-Americans (including the BBC's own former chairman) who say so.

By the mid-19th century unique had developed a wider meaning, “not typical, unusual,” and it is in this wider sense that it is compared. The comparison of so-called absolutes in senses that are not absolute is standard in all varieties of speech and writing.
