Eh, I wouldn’t call it Orwellian. It’s pretty well l own that Fox News isn’t really news (local fox news channels are, just not the national “Fox News,” which is “news entertainment”). Likewise, the NYP is pretty awful and slanted.
It would be Orwellian if all the major networks were saying the same, wrong thing.
I meant Orwellian in that they claimed one thing (Charlie Kirk is loving and caring) and their example was the exact opposite (Charlie Kirk hating transpeople)… War Is Peace and all that
I think of “Orwellian” as generally meaning coordinated surveillance, disinformation, propaganda, and doublethink (denying truth), typically from a government agency or coordination of multiple powerful non-government entities (e.g. social media groups). As in, something similar to what Big Brother did in 1984 by controlling information and spying on the people.
What you described sounds more like doublespeak, or changing the meaning of words, though I haven’t read the article you mentioned.
