Down is Up
The actual words used are less important than the intent. The essence of Newspeak is that words are just tools to help influence the people to believe what they are told without question, even if it is seemingly contradictory to what they see. So, for example, if one day they are told that crime is down, but it is really up, it doesn't matter as long as they willingly follow and support the policies of the government. At their discretion, officials of the Ministry of Truth may revise or "correct" previously released statements.
