Media people like Wolfowitz, Vanderbilt from CNN, Jon Leibowitz, Bill Maher, these are very intelligent people who full know what they're doing. They're inner party, at least the first 3, Maher is more of an other party. Orwell talked about the inner party being experts at Double Think, being able to hold NPC programming, while at the same time understanding it to be false, without any cognitive dissonance.
What I like about the NPC meme though is not as a "stupid liberal" slur, but to target exactly those go-along-to-get-along types, make them stop and think "am I an NPC?" and then down the rabbit hole.
