- dragonwriter 9y agoI have no idea what the (probably not Orwell, as others have pointed out) author meant if it wasn't what the words say; I assume, though, that they meant exactly what they said.
- JadeNB 9y agoPerhaps something like "journalism is revealing what someone wants to be hidden" would satisfy a stricter reading at the cost of being less punchy? EDIT: On starting to read the article, I quite like the slogan "comforting the afflicted, afflicting the comfortable" that they mention.
