Conclusion on Video Games and Violence

In the one-hundred-and-eighty-seventh episode, we explore the Square One Fallacy, starting with RFK Jr demanding vaccines be tested before they are used, and Trump suggesting some kind of film and video game ratings system.

In Mark's British Politics Corner, we look at Kemi Badenoch lamenting (for all the wrong reasons) the rebooted version of research into puberty blockers, Nigel Farage demanding a whole new kind of Brexit guaranteed (this time) to give us sovereignty, and the push for another inquiry into grooming gangs.

In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out real world examples about gender affirming care, cannabis legalization, and tobacco regulation.

Jim and Mark go head to head in Fake News, the game in which Mark has to guess which one of three Trump quotes Jim made up.

Then Jim talks about his recent very deep dive into the world of media effects research with regard to violent video games.

And finally, we 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.)
