I realize it’s fictional, but I think the Ministry of Truth has a ring to it. I think more people are aware of ‘1984’ rather than the history of the USSR. And it is in English as a bonus.

But I do get your point. When consuming what passes for ‘news’ in this country I feel more and more like a reader of Pravda/Izvestia having to balance what they say and paying particular attention to what they don’t say.

Yes, I like “Ministry of Truth” too. And just as the Bolsheviks’ chrezvychaynaya komissiya was shortened to Cheka, ours should be abbreviated MiniTru.

Ministry of Truth, or MiniTru in Newspeak if you want to be a double-plus good duckspeaker.
