Among its most notorious achievements is the creation of "Doublethink" which allows a person to hold mutually contradictory beliefs as a means of avoiding reality. The only thing that Orwell seems to have missed is the date by thirty years.
Syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer during a recent interview responded to his change from a liberal and writer for The New Republic, to conservative columnist.
