Mediaite is extremely vague about just what it is that right-wing critics are saying about the White House and how the traditional media has so miserably failed the American people. It would help if y'all filled in the details about the screaming hysteria that the right wing in general and Fox News in particular have been criticizing the President with. t would also be enlightening to look at how many statemens get passed on on wholesale by the traditional media as though it wasn't their job to fact-check anything.

But you know, when you grow up, hoping to silence and banish all those who disagree with you might not work out so well. You might have to compromise and accept that not everyone is going to agree with you 100% of the time. Or, you could stay arrogant and angry, and hope to get a job in the Obama administration. If I were you, I'd stop paying taxes now... you're a shoo-in for a good government job!

Nothing Anita Dunn or Little Boy Gibbs do will reverse or even stifle the anti-Obama sentiment. And if Obama et al want to escalate things, then he'll get as good as he gives. Does Little Boy Gibbs have the seeds to withstand three more years of this...especially if 2009 is seen as the easiest of them? Gee, I dunno. I'm going to say 'No.' And how 'fierce' is Dunn, anyway? Is SHE going to blunt the Fox machine? My guess is her efforts will be akin to pissing in the wind. I guess there must be some dweeb in the administration who, right now, is wondering how to roll FNC into their 'Fairness Doctrine' while the little 'followers & swallowers' at MSNBC 'keep doin' what they're doin.'

This is the "how" of the Ministry of Truth's existence. Within the novel Orwell elaborates that the deeper reason for its existence is to maintain the illusion that the party is absolute. It cannot ever seem to change its mind (if, for instance, they perform one of their constant changes regarding enemies during war) or make a mistake (firing an official or making a grossly misjudged supply prediction), for that would imply weakness and to maintain power the party must seem eternally right and strong. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministry_of_Truth</blockquote> I wonder... do you think the Obama Administration copied the description from Orwell directly, or did they bother to re-write some of it. Eh, who knows... come tomorrow, it will all go down the memory hole... and this will be the way it has always been done. Ahh… yes, now we’ve created the “The Ministry of Truth.”
