NEW YORK -- In his novel 1984 , George Orwell chillingly described a totalitarian regime in which all communica­tion is controlled by a Ministry of Truth and dissidents are persecuted by political police. The United States remains a democracy governed by a constitution and the rule of law, with pluralistic media, yet there are disturbing signs that the propaganda methods Orwell described have taken root here.
NEW YORK – George Orwell ve svém románě 1984 mrazivě popsal totalitní režim, v němž má komunikaci pod kontrolou ministerstvo pravdy a disidenty perzekvuje politická policie.
