In Chapter 2 of "1984," what is the bad news delivered through the tele-screen?

The bad news
delivered by the telescreen was that the chocolate ration would be reduced from 30 grams to 20
grams at the start of the following week. Later on in the Ministry of Truth aswas correcting
information for The Times, it was revealed that the Ministry of Plenty had some time back issued
a categorical pledge that there would be no further reduction of chocolate rations during that
year. Ironically, one day later, demonstrations were held in praise of Big Brother for
increasing the chocolate ration to twenty grams. Winston was stunned at how mindless everyone
else seemed to be for forgetting in just a span of twenty four hours that the ration had
actually been decreased and not increased.
