Re: '"Why should I pay for a news service that lies to me?" I'm sure most of us in here can relate similar stories where the media deliberately pushed a false narrative.'
Yep. One or two.

Christine Blasey-Ford's ridiculous claim that she escaped would-be rapists but never tried to help her lifelong friend to get away from them, not even following up in the days afterward to tell her friend what had happened or to ask the friend if she'd been okay. Absolutely ABSURD.

Reports for days that the Covington youths had taunted and blocked a Native American man when video was readily available showing that that hadn't happened.

The widespread omission of the word "alleged" when reporting that white Trump supporters had attacked Jussie Smollett.

A NYT story about an Eastern seaboard town being flooded due to global warming and the rising ocean... even though other oceanside towns are not being flooded. Only very late in the article does it touch upon the point that the town is also sinking.

Reports that former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn had raped a black hotel maid. Charges were dropped by the police after the investigation showed the claims to be implausible. By then, Strauss-Kahn had lost his job.

Claims that a white man in a pickup shot and killed a black girl as her family drove out of a Texas Walmart's parking lot. Two black gang bangers were later arrested.

The 'Russian Collusion' allegations fabricated by the Clinton Campaign against Donald Trump.

The "lie of omission" committed by Newsweek when it learned of Bill Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinski and declined to run it until Matt Drudge later did.

Katie Couric, who inserted a pause into her interview of 2nd Amendment supporters in order to make it look as if they did not have an answer to one of her questions. One of the supporters, fortunately, secretly recorded the entire interview and thus was able to prove that Couric's production was a lie.

The '60 minutes' story about a woman who had run over her son in her Audi despite having her foot on the brake. Without telling the audience, 60 minutes drilled a hole in an Audi's transmission and pumped air at high pressure into it, then showed the doctored car taking off like a rocket.

Newsweek's lie that a Gitmo interrogator flushed a Koran down the toilet.

NBC Dateline which installed and ignited small rockets beneath a GM truck in order to show its dangerous design flaw.

A Yahoo! News story of an Iraqi woman whose home was hit by two bullets. She holds up two UNFIRED rounds as proof.
