Loved some of the quips he put in the article. But, I would not call the MSM the Ministry of Truth. I would call them the Goebbels Ministry of Propaganda.

Reference from 1984 by George Orwell. Quite appropriate and very much on point.

Actually, both are accurate.

Given what the Ministry of Truth’s job is in 1984 - to change facts to fit current political expediency (i.e. we were always at war with Eurasia) - I think referring to the MSM as the Ministry of Truth is spot on.
