I was just yesterday arguing with a colleague about the Nigerian Christian killings, and he completely denied it happening because the news comes from Breitbart, Neonnettle, etc., and he won't accept anything other than news straight from Nigeria or from 'approved' MSM media outlets. I eventually sent him an article in The Telegraph from 2018 pointing out the bloodshed going on between the two religions in Nigeria, so I managed to talk him into understanding that there was undoubtedly conflict in the area, but he refuses to believe, and is adamant that the '120 in the last 3 weeks' story didn't happen simply because of the source.
This question obviously extends to any other news actually, because I've come across this issue a lot when arguing with these people, where they simply won't accept something because of the source. Is there a way to fight this, or should I just hope and wait for the truth to come out in the MSM?

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
