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 corporate-affiliated media has enough plausible deniability to satisfy libs. "We thought it was true at the time as all (US intelligence) sources thought Saddam had them."

        Yes, basically. Western journalists expects their governments to speak the truth (because muh librul democracy) and feel it inappropriate to suggest that the good guys might be lying.

      The WMD lie has been documented well enough that you can push back on that pretty easily, though, and libs still hate Bush (if you remind them, and if you don't get sidetracked into a debate about whether he was worse than Trump).
