I wish we had an Orwell Prize in the U.S. The recent congressional Hearings where two independent journalists, Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger, were vilified by the Democratic Party for exposing the extent of social media censorship about COVID via the Standford University Virology Project was terrifying. In the U.S. the "left" has become the "right" and the journalists and publishing houses in legacy media remind me of the difficulty Orwell had in getting a publisher for Animal Farm.
