I usually take all news for entertainment rather than a representation of fact. I am extremely skeptical of the information available to us from the mainstream media. Perhaps I've read a bit too much Noam Chomsky.
Regarding 1984, it would be difficult, but on impossible, for a government to go out on the internet and change or erase every reference to a given topic. Especially controvercial topics where there are a lot of dissenting opinions. IMO it would take a totalitarian world government to achieve something like this and even then you would have rebels trying to get the word out that it was happening.
