EXCERPT:
CARLSON: "'Oh, they are going to help people not get tricked by lies on the internet. We need the mannequin, some 80-year-old guy who can't even speak a complete sentence to help me figure out what’s real.' That's the Eunuch. He has a name, it's Brian Stelter. That is his view. He loved the idea of a Ministry of Truth. Why does he like that so much? Then it hit us. Brian Stelter is, in fact — assuming he’s a real person — basically lifted directly from the pages of '1984,' the Orwell novel. In the novel, the Eunuch is called Tom Parsons. Parsons works as a flack for the Ministry of Truth, and here’s how George Orwell almost 80 years ago describes Parsons. And as we read this, ask yourself, does this sound like anybody who has a weekend show on CNN? 'He was a fattish but active man of paralyzing stupidity, a mass of imbecile enthusiasms —one of those completely unquestioning, devoted drudges on whom, more even than on the Thought Police, the stability of the party depended.' Now we are not saying that’s a perfect word-for-word description of someone who currently has a media analysis show on CNN. We are going to let you judge. But in case you’re wondering, was George Orwell a prophet? Yeah, clearly he was."
