Cherry Picking

In the twenty-second episode we explore the Cherry Picking Fallacy, with examples from Trump talking about unemployment, poverty and those violent illegal immigrants.In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at both sides claiming a kind of victory in the 2017 general election, and, of course, Brexit.In The Fallacy in the Wild, we check out examples from 'Iron Man 2' and Christianity (by way of a clip from 'The West Wing') as well as Monty Python's Life of Brian.Jim and Mark go head to head in a game of Fake News, the game where Mark has to guess which of three Trump quotes Jim made up.And finally we talk about Bill Barr's summary of the Mueller Report (with a hat tip to the Opening Arguments Podcast), and round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.The full show notes for this episode can be found at our new website at http://fallacioustrump.com/ft22Subscribe 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.)You can contact the guys at [email protected], on BlueSky @FallaciousTrump, Discord at fallacioustrump.com/discord, or facebook at facebook.com/groups/fallacioustrumpYou can support us at Patreon.com/ftrump, and you can buy our T-shirts here: https://fallacioustrump.com/teeAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
