Conservative Treehouse has a piece on this ... the various press outlets do a circular reference thing, so when one retracts it affects all the others.

Ministry of truth.
Rewriting history was laborious in Winston’s day.
Ah, yes; anyone who has read “1984” will instantly recognize the prescience of Orwell, who made Winston talk into his speakwrite to doctor long-gone news in favor of the party narrative.
I wonder if these clowns today realize they are fulfilling Orwell’s premise.

This is as dishonest as the original reporting was.
That’s it? No firings, no resignations? Weak sauce...
George Orwell says, “I told you so!”:
US journalist sentenced to 11 years with HARD LABOR in Myanmar court.
