The Times

The Times in Oceania is like our very own New York Times; it is a newspaper that is respected and trusted throughout all of humanity – it's articles are considered to be the truth. And yet, through Winston's job, Orwell makes it clear that little to none of the information printed is real. This serves as an ominous reminder in a society that relies on the media for most-to-all of its information: just because something is printed doesn't make it true, so most sources should be taken with a grain of salt because it very easily could be subject to some sort of bias.
