          In many cases what you are asking is de-programming decades of propaganda, upending an entire persons worldview of what journalism is, of what the west represents, you have to explain the Human Rights industry and it's role in starting wars, the US and it's long history of enforcing the will of global capital the list goes on and on.

                    At that point, a judgement call needs to be made about whether there would be enough people browsing the thread that could be convinced by a patient and thorough rebuttal. On reddit especially, I find it's not worth the effort more often than not.
