Newsday.com - Bush & Co. Use the Orwell Sales Strategy

"Rep. Kay Granger (R-Texas) had just returned home from a government-sponsored tour of Iraq when she appeared on Fox News to comment on Sunday's car bombing in Baghdad. Proving she's a good listener, she insisted that the suicide attack was actually good news. How's that? [...] [S]he explained, 'As it's working, there are more incidents like this, from people who don't want it to work.' By that inverted logic, of course, it would be bad news if there were fewer bombings."

Bubba Granger gives us bubbalogic on Fox news, the official Bubba channel.

This article, also posted in Orwell-a-day, is mostly about how today's news and political presentations so closely match the mechanisms from Orwell's novel 1984. But even old George (Orwell) would never have imagined how much the American people love their Big Brother, Bubba Bush!
