Orwell's 1984 has nothing on the modern mass media. They can take a fact and spin it and twist it and wring it inside out, until they are telling you the exact opposite of what you saw happen.
This is Cate Blanchett's actual Oscar acceptance speech: http://www.dailymotion.com/...
Now consider the spins that have been put on her thanking of Woody Allen. There was “muted applause”, it came “near the end” or “at the end” of the speech, and – they claim – it effectively negated any “feminism” she expressed in telling Hollywood that “Female Films” make money, Because Dylan Farrow.
A further spin has been that she has “distanced herself” from the director – even though she has been publicly quoted as saying that she would work with him again “if he asks”.
Now, what are they doing to us on important matters?
