"Alternative facts" have made "newspeak" more popular.
As of Tuesday, George Orwell's dystopian novel 1984, published in 1949,rose to No. 6 on Amazon's best-selling books list.

The book follows people in a totalitarian state called Oceania, where "newspeak" --the official language -- contains no negative terms. The objective of the fictional language is to eliminate people's personal thoughts by restricting expressiveness.
The popularity of the book comes after President Donald Trump's adviser Kellyanne Conway appeared on NBC's Meet The Press with Chuck Todd Sunday.
Todd questioned Conway over White House press secretary Sean Spicer's comments about Inauguration attracting “the largest audience ever."
