You can’t really provide hard evidence that “the news is censored” to someone who doesn’t want to believe that, because the term “censored” is subjective.
As in, reasonable evidence would be a peer reviewed study of media bias, of which there are many, but a “skeptic” can reject that evidence on the grounds that it doesn’t meet their definition of censorship.
A more meaningful conversation would be to ask whether news sources have bias, and which are more biased than others and in which way.
The term “censorship” implies a big secret not being told, which isn’t my impression of what’s happening. Rather, there’s a constant conservative spin on everything that happens.
Sadly, I suspect you might be about to discover that you can’t change your partner’s political alignment. I’m in my 40s, and in my age group you’re either lucky enough to share political views with your partner, or you ignore the issues you disagree on, or you separate.
I think you might be tackling this the wrong way.
