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.

    lying by omission isn’t lying

    the narrative is mostly about emphasis, not outright denial

    EDIT: like, ask your friend if the media's failure to mention US biological warfare and vicious saturation bombing against Korea while constantly parroting the US state department line counts as a lie
