and consider anything else fake news.
The way to deal with this is to ask: do they ever hear anything negative about Trump or Republicans on their news?
They will answer that the other news channels never say anything good. SO, find a positive news story or two on a real news outlet and show them. Also note that real news (what they call fake) actually criticizes Democrats like Pres. Biden when merited (show them an article or 2)-- and that's the difference.
