I missed one and will spend two minutes in the penalty box for high sticking. I wish they indicated which one I beefed. Ah, the fact that I’m stoned on weed ought not let me off the hook: two more minutes for hooking?
Congratulations!
You’re more resilient to misinformation than 89% of the US population!
Your MIST-20 results: 19/20
Veracity Discernment: 90% (ability to accurately distinguish real news from fake news)
Real News Detection: 90% (ability to correctly identify real news)
Fake News Detection: 100% (ability to correctly identify fake news)
Distrust/Naïvité: -1 (ranges from -10 to +10, overly skeptical to overly gullible)
Your ability to recognize real and fake news is great! You might be a bit skeptical when it comes to the news.
That last sentence: “You might be a bit skeptical when it comes to the news”? I may have missed one, but the fact that a rapist and fascist man-child who’s never read a book and lies nonstop might win the next election…again? And the three SCOTUS members he appointed were part of the 6 in the 6-3 decision to end all checks and balances? (Trump v. United States, 7/1/24) I’m profoundly skeptical about how “news” is produced and consumed. And a growing number of the electorate seem almost entirely unmoored from reality. Maybe my score would’ve been worse - i.e, I’d be even stupider - if I actually had the guts to read the WA Po every day, like I used to; now it’s like non-stop rolling fascist horror and I “can’t even,” as the kids say (or do they not say that anymore?
Imagine you woke from a ten year coma a month ago and took this test:
-Republican party VP nominee refuses to admit Trump lost the 2020 election for POTUS.
My gawd: easy! Is this Donald Trump we’re talking about? The blowhard loser who took out a full page ad demanding the Central Park Five be executed, though there was no real evidence? Absurd that his name and “POTUS” would even be in the same sentence! Next!
