I think I see where you're coming from...? First - I'm straight up not talking about only the headline. Strawman'ing is a real thing, and Mikeb85's comment is doing it. The article has six sentences, and then a bunch of Orwell links. Only one of those sentences is about anything other than Orwell, and that sentence is a link to an article about Orwell, and how "alternative facts" sounds a lot like Newspeak. At no point is either the original article, or its sole political link, making any kind of comment of argument on any of the things in Mikeb85's comment. Context is great! Establish some, and then present your points, arguments, and comments.
