here's a working link to one of the ones that is broken on the other github list:

https://mronline.org/2006/09/21/did-mao-really-kill-millions-in-the-great-leap-forward/

and here's an old article about the fabricated narrative of the Holodomor even though you didn't ask about that: https://www.villagevoice.com/in-search-of-a-soviet-holocaust/

It's hard to ask for things when you don't know what you are asking for. Thank you :3

Glad to help. There's a quote that comes from Citations Needed podcast iirc. "The unit of propaganda is not lies, it is emphasis." This is why critical reading of western media is so important. Media literacy also helps a lot to clue you in on when a suggestive rhetorical technique is being employed.

If you have some time, I highly recommend Ways of Seeing. It's an analysis of European art and art history that really provides some good basis for media literacy. It's old BBC documentary so not super compelling compared to Second Thought, but it is highly valuable IMO.
