I'm tired of getting called right-wing for saying that the media is lying, so I need to concretely back myself up. The fact that there isn't a genocide in china isn't working, as they trust the media. I keep pointing out how they intentionally didn't talk about the AIDs crisis or how bad it was, but they keep sayig lying by omission isn't lying. I want a couple more hard, concrete pieces to show that the media is lying, actively and constantly. Thanks for any help.

    i linked this article the other day, and i think it might be a good one, its pretty old now but its one that everyone universally accepts to have been outright lies at this stage, so you wont get tripped up on what counts as a lie (and the parallels to xinjiang cant help but hover in the background without needing to be explicitly stated)

    and note that it cant just be waved away as "well what colin powell says is news in itself" because it comes with

    CBS News Consultant Stephen Black, a former U.N. weapons inspector, found it to be “an incredible presentation of a web of evidence, not just a theory.” Here, Black analyzes some of the intelligence for CBSNews com

    you can then push further with arguing that these lies are really consequential, since over a million people died in a war justified by these lies
