Conspiracy Theory

What this episode covers

In the eleventh episode we explore the Conspiracy Theory Fallacy, with examples from Trump on the 'rigged' election, Obama's birth certificate and Kavanaugh's accuser. In Mark's UK Politics Corner we look at a conspiracy theory about - you'll never guess - that's right, Brexit! In The Fallacy in the Wild, we check out a fantastic example from Monty Python's Life of Brian. Jim and Mark go head to head in in a special conspiracy theory themed Fake News, the game where Mark has to guess which of three Trump quotes Jim made up. And finally we talk about Elizabeth Warren's DNA and round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.

Rather than just mindless anti-Trump rhetoric, we apply skepticism and critical thinking to our Donald Trump analysis by exploring his liberal use of logical fallacies and cognitive biases, along with a bit of humor and news about US politics. (But there is also some of that much needed anti-Trump rhetoric.)
