I also pointed at two lies at the UN that were used to trigger wars (the second one being a bigger one than the first, because irak was truely invading koweit).

Those are the biggest ones i can remember without thinking too much, but then there's all the state operations during cold wars to change regimes, the hidden financing of one ideology to fight another ( talibans vs communists in afghanistan comes to my mind). All the state dirty little secrets than you learn about decades away, and cast a different light on the news of their time. On top of that you can add regions like the middle east , where there's almost no reliable source of information, but yet news agency keep pretending that they can do their job.
I'm not a conspiracionnist at all, because i think that at the moment 99% of those alternate news are boggus. I just think it's a good start that people starts asking themselves questions about what they see and hear, even when it comes from a supposedly professional source.
Edit : i checked, and the koweitian girl fake testimony wasn't in the UN, but at some US caucus. Which was broadcasted all over the news channel.
