Leftist, Language-Twisting PBS Sees ‘Orwellian’ Era Dawning Under Trump

Sunday’s PBS News Weekend devoted eight minutes to the tired leftist cliché that Republicans have ushered in a new Orwellian era, using a new documentary about writer George Orwell by director Raoul Peck. After years of PBS News capitalizing “Black” but not “white” in transcripts, calling illegal immigrants “undocumented,” and insisting men can choose to become women and boys choose to become girls in the twisted name of transgender rights, PBS has discovered the danger to plain language comes from the political right.
