Fake News Game Introduction

In the one-hundred-and-eighty-eighth episode, we explore the Argumentum Ad Feminam, starting with a montage of Trump attacking women.

In Mark's British Politics Corner, we look at Diane Abbott reporting on the daily abuse she gets over social media, Harriet Harman on why she didn't get appointed Deputy PM, and why women like her threaten misogynists, and Kemi Badenoch attacking women who complain about being attacked.

In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Star Wars, Anchorman, and Cheers.

Jim and Mark go head to head in a special Christmas edition of Fake News, in which Mark has to guess which absurdly sycophantic remarks were made up by Jim and which were lavished on Trump by his acolytes.

Then we talk about the heavily redacted and incomplete Epstein files.

And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.
