Fake News and Orwell’s “Ministry of Truth"

Today's 'progressive' journalists perpetually reveal their true calling.

President Trump is credited with coining the term “Fake News.”  Fake News reports are not only irritating but have become so pervasive and impactful that it threatens our very democracy.

Fake News has two elements - the use of Politically Correct language and blatant lies.

Americans are among the most compassionate and considerate people in the world.  Today, by turning that virtue into a vulnerability, Americans have been conditioned to use “Politically Correct” language to ostensibly be kind and compassionate.  Under the guise of political correctness, Americans have permitted themselves to accept Orwellian Newspeak that alters their understanding of critical issues.  Humans think with words, consequently language control results in thought control.

Actually, I think the MSM coined the term "Fake News" to use in mockery of Trump voters, and Trump hijacked it by being able to call out multiple MSM falsehoods.

The lib media has been deceiving the public for more than a century.
Which leads a person to speculate as to how people would vote if they received the important news fairly instead of the liberal-injected news they now receive?
And for that matter, if the public had received ALL!!! the important news instead of what they've been doled out by lib media? Remember, the lib media ignores a lot of news not favorable to the lib agenda.
Some people have said that no Dem would ever get elected to national office if the public received a full and unbiased report of the news from the media.
