There appears to be a persistent popularity among those that strive to avoid the machinations of the MSM of George Orwell’s novel 1984.

Up Canada way the urbane and laidback pundits daily bring up one name- Trump. It seems they are absolutely obsessed with what he might do- or is doing.
Meantime the average Canadian battles the winter and gets down to Tim Hortons. I go there and of Trump- nary a word.
"Animal Farm" is the instruction manual. "1984" is the result of following the instruction manual.
