Find examples of the news lying and changing the story show them that evidence to first establish that it’s possible. Then discuss things as a hypothetical such as the darpa life log and Facebook connection and why so many darpa employees work there. Go to insidercow.com show them where google and Facebook are dumping stock and the twitter suppression against POTUS. Some people just don’t want to believe they’ve been lied to and others are scared to death to admit they were wrong. I was wrong, I liked Bernie until he caved to the Dems and supported Hillary.

Edit: Use the Socratic method like Q by asking them questions so that they connect the dots and aren’t being told. This is just information that has helped me. Good luck.

I heard boomers and normies(I am both of these I am neither of these) are using this site https://www.allsides.com/unbiased-balanced-news I haven't checked it out I am betting it is still left leaning but I'm told it provides bias visibility or helps reader be cognizant of source bias.

Mostly have to wait for it to get to the MSM like jussie "ya smelt it ya delt it" smullet

Sounds like the first problem you need to solve is to convince the person the all media can lie, not just designated "evil" outlets. A lot of people these days are trained to find the most trivial reasons to discount a story, like quibbles about the source, which they of course selectively apply only to stories contradicting their own view.

By 'colleague' I mean a person that I know that I wouldn't necessarily call a friend. It can mean both in the UK, like an acquaintance.

I think it's a pretty well known fact that Christians in places like Nigeria do get killed, but it has little to do with the rest of the world as it's just their own local tribal warfare, and religion is nothing more than an excuse for them to carry it out. Not only do Christians there get slaughtered, by the are also frequently doing the slaughtering in raids on non-Christian villages, and so on ad nauseum.

If you can't convince someone using credible sources, you will probably also have to appeal to common sense and hope they can be rational. The problem with sources like Breitbart, Neonettle, etc. is that they don't care whether what they publish is factual or not, because they know their readers are dumb and will anything due to confirmation bias alone. The pure shit that streams out of sites like that all the time means that you could never use them to prove something, even if MSM is occasionally dishonest the overall level of factuality is an order of magnitude higher. Obviously you shouldn't believe everything that you read, but someone who believes sites like Breitbart already lacks a healthy level of skepticism. Like, what's the use of being skeptical of MSM when you readily fall for even flimsier shit?

Yeah I think appealing to common sense is a good point. I'm very aware of the implications behind sending a Breitbart article someone, which makes me annoyed that sometimes, this story in particular, they're the only 'big' alternative right-wing websites reporting it. Thankfully another Anon has linked a couple other seemingly credible sources from Nigeria, so that helps my case a little, but yeah I'm frustrated by the divide between what I know to be true and what I can prove.

I've made it this far though, just recently I've felt more of an urge to try and redpill a few people so that they don't freak out too much with the news from potential upcoming events.

This is exactly what I’ve been trying to tell people for years. Info wars and Breitbart May say a lot of stuff I agree with but I can’t ignore the absolute retarded shit they say either. I’m not surprised at all that they aren’t considered credible.

I don’t consider the new york fucking times credible but they aren’t nearly as insane as infowars appears to outsiders

Also going back to what OP is asking, even if he dislikes MSM, I'm almost certain that one can find "mainstream" sources talking about the violence in sub-Saharan Africa. I really wouldn't think it hard at all to find news stores and various articles about the subject, as it's been going on for so long. A few years ago that "Who is Kony" thing blew up all over the Internet; I'd be surprised if there's anyone who hasn't heard of this stuff.
