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?
This is why the left rages when anyone makes jokes about them or their sacred cows. They know humor can be an effective way of pointing out the absurdity of their bullshit.
It's not even just that, but also that (successful) humor lowers people's defenses. I've used the joke that Joe Biden said that "who does Vladimir Putin think he is, invading other countries? That's our job!" to great effect.
