From NPR:

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is urging broadcasters to air more “patriotic, pro-America” content in honor of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

This definitely doesn’t sound anything like the fictional world of Orwell’s 1984, or the non-fictional world of Russian state broadcasting of course…

Carr’s suggestions for today’s broadcasters also include starting each day with the “Star Spangled Banner” or the Pledge of Allegiance; introducing segments that highlight “local sites of significance” to national and regional history such as National Park Service locations; and airing works by canonical U.S. composers such as John Philip Sousa, George Gershwin, Duke Ellington and Aaron Copland.

Of course there’s a way in which more educational history and civics programming would in general be a good thing. But here I suspect the intent is more ‘we are at war with Eurasia so we have always been at war with Eurasia’.
