Ask them questions and make them question themselves and their own "beliefs." Whenever they state something, question them on it, because then they'll have to come up with ways to defend it, and if they can't defend it then ask them why they even believe it. I've seen this works the best. Instead of ramming facts at them, make them first doubt their own narrative.
Yes, this is the key. Play the long game. It's a lot easier and long term more effective to raise doubt, than it is to "convince" someone that their entire life has been a lie in a 72 hour long weekend.
Raise doubt. Then over time, when they see signs and patterns in the media they may start to believe what you said has some merit. Crack their door ever slow slightly, then they have to open it the rest of the way slowly.
