Pretend you have one hour to convince a random normie that the mainstream media is propaganda rather than a collection of well-meaning, objective journalists who sometimes get it wrong but overall try to deliver fair and accurate reporting.
If you fail, you die.
What's your approach?
It's a stupid hypothetical for several reasons but I'm very interested in this topic and I'm curious to hear your thoughts, so I'll ask for a pass on the overly dramatic scenario.
I'm guessing the most common response will be, "It won't work no matter what you do", and fwiw I think that's correct. But for the small group who can be reasoned with, what do you think is the optimal approach?
Big if with that "can be reasoned with"....
For me it would be certain interviews, most news are too distant for the normies to believe you on most things, it's just one person's word against another.
But interviews you can point out biased actions, a recent example was that an interviewer was asking the "far right party leader" questions but always started to talk over the interviewee when he gave perfectly reasonable answers.
Stuff like this and loaded questions, difference in handling depending on what the news are talking about as well.
Basically actions of the news rather than misinformation is where I'd try my luck
PS: COVID discussions would also be a quite good one to point this out
