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.
The media is shit not just in the sense of political narrative but also just general journalistic laziness. Whatever your friend/acquaintance's particular hobbies are probably has some examples of atrocious reporting that a layperson would take on face value but an enthusiast will recognize for what it is. Find an example that speaks to your audience then link that to broader examples of political propaganda.
