Topic: Prolefeed


In the News (Wed 10 Feb 10)

  
  Prolefeed - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Prolefeed is a Newspeak term in the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell.
It was used to describe the heaps of useless literature, movies and music which were produced by the Party to keep the proletariat content.
The term prolefeed has been used in recent years by critics to describe news about famous celebrities (or the tabloids and magazines which publish them) or excessive sports coverage.

Prolefeed is exactly what the heavily funded state and national commodity groups and the American Farm Bureau Federation are feeding farmers.
Examples of "prolefeed" include the "protect agriculture" rhetoric distributed by Farm Bureau and the pork producers groups while they intensely fight to increase the ability of factory farms to multiply, destroy communities, vertically integrate and freeze independent producers out of the marketplace.
While distributing "prolefeed" on distracting topics of efficiency and exports, these bureaucracies have been working feverishly to blunt criticism about horizontal concentration in the packer/processor industry, declining family farm numbers, and closed out market access.

Orwell's concepts of Newspeak and Prolefeed are indispensable to an understanding of the development of American culture during the latter half of this century.
Prolefeed is a format of radio and TV programming whose result is intellectually debilitating.
It is no mere coincidence that the rise of popular radio and TV programming in the 1950's and its widespread availability (the transistor was invented in 1948) immediately preceeded the plunge of the SAT scores reported by American high-school students from 1963 onward.

An example from the B-vocabulary of Newspeak is more than alarming now: ‘Prolefeed, meaning the rubbishy entertainment and spurious news which the Party handed out to the masses.’ In this context, the American Fox News

 BuzzFlash > GOP Hypocrite of the Year: George W. Bush
Democracy is merely a patriotic catch phrase for the Mayberry Machiavellis in the White House.
It is -- as Orwell would call it -- another example of "Newspeak" and "Prolefeed," words meant to arouse the masses to obey the patriarchal father figure, leader of the "homeland."
For the Bush Cartel, the realties of the democratic process, the legal guarantees of our Constitution, the right of a full public debate on issues -- these are all road blocks to elitist rule by the self-appointed so-called enlightened ones.

This is different to the argument made about the use of Newspeak terms in "normal" English.
In the sentence "The prolefeed claimed the protestors started the incident", "prolefeed" is used as an English slang word, not a Newspeak word.
While the Newspeak origin, and the political connotations it brings, is intended to be appreciated with those familiar with the book it is not being used as Newspeak.
