 * Orwellian doublespeak **
 * **From Booth: "And at every moment the media were profitting from the daily explosion of vitriolic extremes on all sides and Orwellian doublespeak by this or that moderate.**
 * **Explanation:(From Wikipedia)**
 * **Doublespeak:** is language that deliberately disguises, distorts, or reverses the meaning of words. Doublespeak may take the form of euphemisms (e.g., "downsizing" for layoffs, "servicing the target" for bombing [1home]), making the truth less unpleasant, without denying its nature. It may also be deployed as intentional ambiguity, or reversal of meaning (for example, naming a state of war "peace"). In such cases, doublespeak disguises the nature of the truth, producing a communication bypass.[2home][3home] Doublespeak's origins are fuzzy because there is no explicit mention on where its primary concepts came from. However, doublespeak might possibly have certain concepts taken from George Orwell's book, //Nineteen Eighty-Four//. Although there is no mention of Doublespeak in //Nineteen Eighty-Four//, it has been argued that the term is a combination of two concepts - Doublethink and Newspeak which are original to his work
