The attack on press freedom in Hungary

[Jan Klimkowski]

A five-member Media Council, headed by a long-time confidant of Prime Minister Viktor Orban, can impose tough sanctions against any media outlet whose reporting is not "balanced." What constitutes "balanced" reporting is determined by the Media Council.
Journalists who write about "national security" issues must disclose their sources.
The news output for all public broadcasters will be produced by a central government agency.

Sounds like Newspeak to me.

Here's a pertinent passage from Orwell's 1984:

By 2050earlier, probablyall real knowledge of Oldspeak will have disappeared. The whole literature of the past will have been destroyed. Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, Byronthey'll exist only in Newspeak versions, not merely changed into something different, but actually contradictory of what they used to be. Even the literature of the Party will change. Even the slogans will change. How could you have a slogan like "freedom is slavery" when the concept of freedom has been abolished? The whole climate of thought will be different. In fact there will be no thought, as we understand it now. Orthodoxy means not thinkingnot needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness.
