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.

    Short answer: WMDs in Iraq. One of the biggest propaganda coups this century (so far!).

    Longer answer: Manufacturing Consent. Exhaustively documents many instances of propaganda and describes how they are made.

    YouTube addicted zoomed answer: Toss some Yellow Parenti at them.

      Thanks. I think Parenti is a bit too strong for right now, but I will work with what I have.

        Another perk of Manufacturing Consent is that Chomsky is a recognizable name that often isn't seen as too radical. Probably harder to dismiss out of hand that way.
