Take him to the nearest detox center in your area then ignore him completely, since he is unable to process events logically, and must rely on someone to draw conclusions for his self. He is perfect Primal Slave material, waiting to be molded by the slave master hands into a useful slave.
PS: Can he read?

Your argument never happened. It wasn’t in the main stream news.

The viewership of those channels you listed has been in a death spiral. I guess at some point in the not too distant future, 90% or more won’t know anything about the news because they don’t watch those channels.

Your friend should apply for the newly open position with the USDA in Georgia since he might meet the intelligence requirement.

Kick him in the balls and ask him if that just happened.

Ding, ding ding!

And we now have winner and a Freeper who is in the running for the most succinct, hilarious, post of the month--if not the year!

Thanks for the eye watering, belly laugh as I needed it!

Just glad I didn't have a mouthful of whatever, or I would be cleaning my keyboard and monitor for the next hour!

What’s with having friends who are liberals?

Hope these help

I refuse to consult journalists who say, "there is no truth."

It’s hard. As soon as they find out you haven’t drank the Kool Aid, its like Invasion of the Body Snatchers, the pointing and screaming. Liberals are filled with hatred, completely channeled towards conservatives. Sad.

Inform him that his own reality, and that of his family and property, are subject to the same rule. Inform him that you are seeking professioanl help so that you will no longer sense the presence of unreported (and therefore non-existent) people, and that until you are cured, you will just have to ignore him— unless he can prove his existence with a report on it from a qualified news source.

Find another friend. Go back to the German people in 1932. They were like your friend.

Keep your ears open for things he says that aren't in the news. Quickly pop off "That never happened!" A couple of weeks of that should have him treating you with a little more respect.
