Blog: Media-driven political insanity:
"Psycholinguistics and cognitive science have long been interested in linguistic relativity – the concept that language influences way of thinking.
George Orwell, the author of Nineteen Eighty-Four, also considered: “But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought.” 
In the dystopian novel, Orwell depicted a totalitarian state using controlled language and “thoughtcrime” charges to keep people from thinking.  
Throughout history, real-life dictatorships have been known to “pre-define” reality via meaningless slogans, political correctness, and punishment of cerebral dissent.
The fact that several months before elections we are constantly told that a candidate has already won definitely rings an alarm bell.
Orwellian “Newspeak” morphed today into NewsSpeak, with the mainstream media acting as thought police.
While we are being nonchalantly reminded about a long list of observable crimes that go unpunished, the media cheer those crimes’ authors and try to contaminate us with the “enthusiasm.”
One can’t help but notice how visionary Orwell’s writing was: “[s]o much of left-wing thought is a kind of playing with fire by people who don’t even know that fire is hot.”
...Human history has proven that the reign of political correctness, coercion, and no matter how big of a lie always comes to an end; the question is not “if,” but “when.” 
Will elections be enough to say “enough”?
One thing is sure: when it comes to accountability for “disorganizing” the world, pleading political insanity won’t be enough."
