- Title
Defining "Disinformation": Toward an Anti-Authoritarian Left.
- Authors
D'Amato, David S.
- Abstract
We're at a point in our history today that Church probably couldn't have imagined, when his own party, the supposedly liberal one, gushes over the FBI and CIA, and inexplicably dismisses their critics (many of whom are avowed leftists) as right-wing conspiracy theorists. Every day, he systematically edits old articles and official government statements to ensure they remain consistent with a constantly updated stream of government propaganda messages and made-up forecasts. In George Orwell's famous novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, the protagonist, Winston Smith works for the state in a bureau called the Ministry of Truth.
