Ministry of Truth

Some critics of the Homeland Security's Disinformation Board have compared it to the "Ministry of Truth" from George Orwell's book 1984. In the book, the Ministry of Truth is essentially in charge of falsifying, doctoring and erasing traces of historical events to portray the truth in a government-approved manner, as they want it to be seen by the people.

Former politician Tulsi Gabbard also compared the board to the Ministry of Truth during an April 29th Fox News segment. In the segment, Sean Hannity asked her, "How do you feel about the Ministry of Truth?" to which she responded, "This is the kind of thing you see in dictatorships" and called it the "Department of propaganda"
