It does not matter what links you hand them, they won't believe it.

Like the folks who watch fox news - You can show them a slew of bias in the 'reporting' done there and it won't mean a thing to them.

Have them check out right wing watch or media matters, or do some google searches on republicans and legislation on everything from abortion to unemployment (remember back a few years when republicans were fighting against extending ue benefits? They were saying it would cause people to be lazy and not look for work. The same folks were talking prior to that about how people could not find jobs because of Obama - so which was it? Blame Obama and the people needing help? Makes no sense as usual).
