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?
For one thing, he'd have to be a colossal idiot to not notice that all mainstream media besides Fox News (who usually fired their only people worth a damn and are a comically neocon boogeyman) are heavily left-leaning, but that should be relatively easy to show him. I mean come on, unless he's retarded enough to believe that left-leaning is "objective" than that's a pretty brutal indictment there already.
James O'Keefe had a wall of over 300 forced retractions for journos that falsely attacked him and Project Veritas (before the coup), I'd show him that and ask if they were all just "mistakes" and remind him that lawsuits were required to force said retractions.
Then I'd show him what type of entities own the media corporations. How routinely the media corporations lie.
Bring up every major incident they repeatedly and constantly lied about which was proven false (like Russiagate for example), and show the incidents that they didn't cover at all despite being true (e.g. Spygate).
Really a lot of Project Veritas/James O'Keefe videos are good for redpilling. The so-called "journos" often don't even believe what they're pushing. The "nothingburger" meme for example came from a CNN host's mouth.
