Note from asker:
sorry it is "age of spin" (my mistake)
Peer comment(s):

neutral Edward Plaisance Jr : "spion" is a misspelling of "spin" here...see the Asker's context sentence where it says "age of spin"..."spion" makes no sense in this context...Google "age of spin", "spin doctor", "spin control"

It certainly means "spy". How did you come to تظاهر when that really means pretention?
