NY Times Proposes Ministry of Truth

Orwell is rolling over in his grave.

 If you are of an age when history was taught using actual true events, both the beautiful and the ugly, and when literature in this country included the great works of English writings, we all had to read George Orwell's book 1984 .  1984 was intended to be a cautionary tale. However, it seems to have become a how-to manual for the Left. If you haven't read it, I urge you to obtain a copy while you can, before Farenheit 451 comes to life as well.

The reason I am remembering 1984 because of an article at Zero Hedge entitled NY Times Calls for Biden to Appoint "Reality Czar" to Fight "Misinformation." Note that this comes from the people who believe that a man can become a woman by a simple delaration. Indeed, that someone can change his or her sex at all. These are the people who believe that the riots this past summer were "mostly peaceful" even though they resulted in destruction in the billions of dollars, while the January 6 riots were more horrific than even 9/11. These are the people who believe that inanimate objects actually cause crime rather than the people committing the crime. And they act on these beliefs by trying to get rid of guns. These people clearly do not live in the real world so any discussion by them of "reality" is rich indeed.

Typical of the Left, they want to redefine "reality" to be not what is actual or true, but to be whatever happens to be politically correct today.  "Reality" it seems can change tomorrow, and you better keep up on the latest "reality."  This is exactly what the "Ministry of Truth" used to push on the people of Oceana in 1984 The analogy truly is exact. Doesn't anybody read Orwell anymore?
