"Bamboozled..."

"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It's simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we've been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back."

Don Henley, "Dirty Laundry"

Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us.

Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance...

Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those 

who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism...
