NOTE: we devised measures of media misinformation : both the “obfuscation index” of a single newscast, and resulting long term “brainwashing index” can be measured:
- “obfuscation index” of a single newscast: A naïve person gets exposed to a news article or video, and then gets tested for disparity of acquired knowledge and reality
- and resulting long term “brainwashing index”: a person, exposed to normal MSM information, can be tested how much their “knowledge” differs from objective facts. MSM might see the discrepancy as desired success of their misinformation campaigns.
Blatant examples are Leftist thinking that US police kills thousands of unarmed Blacks per year. In reality the numbers are around 7 to 15.
Awareness of the facts cited below can be easily tested with questionnaires! Here we devise such a questionnaire.

Russia’s Ukraine war: NATO membership or death! The WHOLE TRUTH vs. media cover-up
It is the right of Ukraine to prefer utter destruction and death to neutrality. But it is NOT the right of media and politicians to lie, to pretend that there was no possible peaceful solution. Rather, Ukraine, knowingly, prefers war, death and destruction to a commitment to neutrality. Ukraine, USA, and NATO choose to outright reject Putin’s demand to a neutral Ukraine with assurance for Ukraine to never join NATO.
Russia’s Ukraine war: FULL DISCLOSURE vs. cover-up by lying media and manipulative politicians
The US and NATO have never been sanctioned for starting wars. Why
The reaction to Russia’s attack on Ukraine, no matter what you think about it, has exposed the West’s double standards
