Compare the Fox Business clip above with this scene from the "1984" movie: Joe Walsh is a sort of John Hurt/Winston, and Stuart Varney is Richard Burton/O'Brien. After O'Brien burns the photos, Winston says he remember them. O'Brien: "I do not remember."https://youtu.be/cAKtpCo8fPE

Somewhat longer clip of Stuart Varney and Joe Walsh here — with an extra helping of doublethink!https://www.mediamatters.org/stuart-varney/fox-host-insists-trump-has-never-lied-american-people-0 …

It amazes me that almost a week later, I'm *still* getting RTs and replies on this video. Stuart Varney's total sureness really helped to illustrate Orwell's point about the authoritarian mind: We're not simply talking about mere gaslighting/lying — it's mass self-brainwashing.

If Stuart Varney is like Richard Burton's performance as O'Brien in the 1984 movie of "1984," then Sean Hannity is more like André Morell's version of O'Brien — much more gloating and openly sadistic — from the 1954 BBC teleplay.https://youtu.be/dodxnZRXUV4

(Note: When I first read "1984" in high school, having never seen any of the adaptations, the O'Brien in my head was much more like André Morell's version than Richard Burton's. Both are excellent, certainly.)

Varney makes Joe Walsh look like a reasonable person.

This is why I'm happy how is running, don't like his past and don't want him winning, but having someone running solely on attacking Trump's behavior will do a lot of damage

Not that i feel any shred of sympathy or empathy for a loathsome snake like Varney, but you can see the struggle in his face. He knows he's lying and his mouth can say it, but his eyes can't sell it.
