Guaranteed way to shock an NPC. It takes 10 minutes of preparation but well worth the effort and it can be used many times.
Go to Google Yahoo Bing duckduckgo and dogpile. Do some simple searches and screen shot the auto fill results. I searched "Hillary Clinton" and "Uranium One"
Ask the NPC if they're aware of the bias on Google. They will either be ignorant or downplay it because "There is bias in everything, right? "
Show them your screen shots and give a quick explanation. They will immediately grab their phone to "fact check". Then they get quiet.
Key points: The screenshots work well because they don't have to wait between sites and they could compare side by side, back and forth (which they did). It's so immediately apparent that they can't ignore it and walk away.
Of course I showed them "Hillary Clinton" but "Uranium One" blew their mind because they had never heard of it and were SHOCKED to learn there was some controversy (Google doesn't mention it). Hell, two of them were surprised to see the term "Clinton body count" for the first time ever.
The fact that there are still Americans who don’t recognize Fake News blows my mind
