English term or phrase: the spin
I have no doubt that there is a lot of "mad cow" in the USA.

If they found it, it was by accident as the only "testing" that is going on is designed to NOT find it.

Now the spin and BS machine will swing into action and they will try and "spin" this away too.
( spin is just a more "neutral" descriptive term for lieing, you didn't think spin meant truth did you).

تحوير الأحداث
اختلاق الأعذار
التلاعب بالألفاظ
تزييف الحقائق

In public relations, spin refers to putting events or other facts, especially of those with political or legal significance, into contexts favoring oneself or one's client or cause, at least in comparison to opponents. Success in this is called "spinning the story," ideally by "putting a positive spin on the story."
For example, if a politician was caught swearing at his grocer, a supporter could "spin" the story into a tale of the politician "expressing outrage at the corporate middlemen marking up produce prices at the expense of our nation's farmers."
