 in the Ukrainian Student Union for a lecture on September 5\, 2025.</h3><p>
 In an era dominated by information overload\, the mass media landscape has 
 become a battleground for cognitive manipulation and sham reasoning. This l
 ecture explores the sophisticated strategies employed to shape public perce
 ption\, distort truth\, and influence decision-making.</p><p>We will examin
 e common tactics of manipulation\, including selective framing\, emotional 
 priming\, and logical fallacies\, that undermine critical thinking and erod
 e informational well-being.</p><p>By dissecting real-world examples from me
 dia discourse (including Ukrainian\, Russian\, and American sources)\, the 
 lecture will equip attendees with practical tools to recognize and counter 
 these cognitive attacks.</p><div><p><strong>Lecturer:</strong> <a href="htt
