The description of events changing in real time to suit the narrative is a theme in Orwell's work.

But I think it is misplaced here as the line still exists:

> Huang, who co-founded Nvidia and is its fourth-largest investor with a stake of about 3.61%, will not remain on the board.

1984 was about changing narratives in history, not fast-acting live news. Describing basic journalism as orwellian is misunderstanding his theme.

Your original comment only had the quoted line, before you edited it to include extra context.

This Orwellian nightmare knows no bounds, when will it end?
