It's funny. This is literally what Winston's job is in the Ministry of Truth in 1984. Real life is exactly following fiction. It's not even that it rhymes; this is precisely what he wrote. 1984 itself is on the chopping block now too, of course...

Fun fact, parts of 1984 were based on Orwell's experience working for BBC from 1941-1943.

BBC, of course, is state-controlled media who had their journalist Jill Dando murdered for trying to expose pedos in their upper ranks.

BBC also reported the collapse of WTC7 before it even happened during 9/11, then they "lost" the footage for that report and "found" it again a year later after someone posted it on youtube.
