The description of events changing in real time to suit the narrative is a theme in Orwell's work.

But I think it is misplaced here as the line still exists:

> Huang, who co-founded Nvidia and is its fourth-largest investor with a stake of about 3.61%, will not remain on the board.

1984 was about changing narratives in history, not fast-acting live news. Describing basic journalism as orwellian is misunderstanding his theme.

During Hate Week in chapter two the speaker is handed a paper and changes the object of condemnation mid sentence.

The party speaker literally adapted to the change in eternal enemy mid sentence without breaking the grammar. How much more fast-acting and live can you get? Are you suggesting that they had a free press in 1984 that didn't have to update their own description of what was happening?
