Slippery Slope

What this episode covers

In the tenth episode we explore the Slippery Slope Fallacy, with an example from Trump defending Confederate statues and we discuss the difference between formal and informal logical fallacies. In Mark's UK Politics Corner we look at Boris Johnson complaining about Brexit and Twitter users complaining about Owen Jones. In The Fallacy in the Wild, we check out examples from Friends and DirectTV ads. Jim and Mark go head to head in Fake News, the game where Mark has to guess which of three Trump quotes Jim made up. And finally we talk about the Kavanaugh hearings and round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week. Subscribe to Fallacious Trump to make sure you never miss a logical fallacy. 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.)
