Who do you think invented this kind of propoganda. Orwell’s 1984 isn’t fiction. It’s based upon experience working for the BBC during the war.

This isnt Orwells style of propaganda, and we don’t (yet) live in Orwells world.

The BBC certainly was one of his models. It was a state broadcaster that was effectively a “sole source” of reporting in wartime Britain.

There is a problem with extending this Orwellian vision into our very different world of multiple sources of both facts and spin.
