Was challenged recently to provide examples of MSM articles that claimed falsehoods and, while I was able to show a few on the fly, I really wanted to give the person who challenged me the wonderful laundry list of articles that had been debunked over the past four years by a couple of eagle-eyed subreddits. Unfortunately, the only one I remember by name is r/factcheckcheck, and it's the inferior sub. I figure it's hard to find stuff like that now with the whitewashed-tombing of the internet, but I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find that kind of thing in an archive or something.

You failed the test.
They weren't asking for evidence, they were asking to show their power over you demonstrating that you had something to prove to them, and elevating themselves as someone who had authority over you by judging your work.
Then no matter what you provide they just keep moving the goalposts and eventually declare victory.
Instead you have to challenge them back to state what evidence they will accept and force them to provide as much detail as possible. That puts you back in the driver's seat of judging them based on their response.
Ooh, good point. Will remember for next time.

There, you have a laundry list of misinformation.
