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.

    They usually don't literally just make shit up as much as they play with framing/omit things. For just straight fiction there's a thousand big and tiny stories: the Iraq WMD saga, the "Muslim No-Go Zones" stories, claiming Kim Hyok Chol was executed, claiming Juan Guaido was elected, the "Russian Bounties" story, etc etc.
