Squealer, the pig from George Orwell's "Animal Farm," often serves as the spokesperson for the ruling pigs, using persuasive language to manipulate and control the other animals. He frequently employs rhetoric to justify the pigs' decisions, claiming that their leadership is essential for the farm's success. Squealer often twists the truth, presents false statistics, and appeals to the animals' emotions to maintain their loyalty and suppress dissent. His speeches reflect the themes of Propaganda and the abuse of language for power.
Squealer's job was to change the commandments
Squealer is the form of propaganda.
In "Animal Farm," Squealer misleadingly claims that it was Napoleon's dog who bit Mr. Jones's leg during the Battle of the Cowshed. This assertion is part of Squealer's propaganda efforts to glorify Napoleon's leadership and portray him as a heroic figure. By manipulating the truth, Squealer aims to solidify Napoleon's authority and ensure the animals' loyalty to him.
Squealer is propaganda, but specifically, Pravda

Squealer tells the other animals that Boxer will be sent to the hospital for treatment after he collapses. He claims that a van is coming to take Boxer to a veterinary hospital, assuring them that he will receive the best care. However, it is later revealed that the van actually belongs to a glue factory, highlighting Squealer's manipulation of the truth to maintain control over the animals.
Napoleon wants the power of a leader, while Squealer is content to spread Napoleon's propaganda.
Squealer is the pig responsible for spreading the propaganda of Napoleon to the other residents of the farm. Squealer uses his skill at jargon and speech to keep the animals firmly under napoleons control.
When George Orwell describes Squealer as being able to "turn black into white", he is in fact referring to Squealer's persuasive skill. In other words, Squealer has enough persuasive talent to be able to convince the animals in Animal Farm that black is white or vice-versa.
The Knacker. He is made into glue. Squealer says he is going to the hospital, but the truck says the Glue Factory. Squealer lies about that the hospital, this was one of the many examples of Propaganda.
