Argument from Authority - FT#16

In the sixteenth episode we explore the Argument from Authority Fallacy, with examples from Trump talking about Tom Brady and the National Enquirer. In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Paloma Faith's views on Brexit and Boris Johnson's views on niqābs. In The Fallacy in the Wild, we check out examples from Dinosaurs, Fox News talking about Mass Effect, and Jim's sister's friend the nurse. Jim and Mark go head to head in a slightly different game of Fake News, inspired by Trump's cameo in Christmas classic Home Alone 2. And finally we talk about the War on Christmas, and round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.

Om Podcasten

Jim and Mark use the insane ramblings of a tiny-handed narcissist to explain logical fallacies. Each episode we focus on a single logical fallacy and, using examples from Trump, UK politics and pop culture, explore how and why it fools people, how to avoid committing it yourself, and how to counter it in an argument.
