There's a certain inevitability about the lies, the bullshit that is found within the reporting by the mainstream media. But even this is a new low.

From the CNN report on the burial today of the 15 year old boy Alexandros Grigoropoulos shot dead by Greek police: "Six young protesters had pelted a police patrol car with stones, and the teen was shot as he tried to throw a fuel-filled bomb at the officers."

This contradicts all the eyewitness reports, and even most reports by other mainstream media outlets. It is unsubstantiated bullshit, with no references, no 'proof' of their assertion.

So how do we counter these lies?
