This is why buddy said they're being pedantic.

For example, if I found and posted a plain statement of fact headline for Russia, would that be evidence that manufactured consent isn't a thing? No. Of course not.

To look at these kinds of things, you can't just cherry pick. These concepts are laid bare as a result of aggregating reporting. It's a statistical thing.

So while this is an example, for the reasons posted, it's not a great one. And you could take that feedback and post a better one. You could understand the argument. You're completely right, so why not choose examples that don't leave yourself vulnerable to valid criticism of your specific choices?
