So, in the novel,
Squealer represents the propaganda machinery
that despotic states develop in order to control
their populace. Under Stalin,
it was Dmitri Shepilov. Under Hitler, it was Goebbels. And the quote, "turning black
into white," is just a simplistic way
of Squealer saying that he can make evil
sound like it was good. Orwell expanded on this idea
in Nineteen Eighty-Four with Oceania's
Ministry of the Truth, the irony being that
all Ministry does is lie. Anything else?
