Inconsistent Comparison (Redux) - FT#169

In the one-hundred-and-sixty-ninth episode, we take another look at the Inconsistent Comparison Fallacy, starting with Trump comparing Covid to the flu, Tucker Carlson being a Russian propagandist, and Candace Owens being an anti-vaxxer.

In Mark's British Politics Corner, we look at Kemi Badenoch being incredibly xenophobic, and Liz Truss being delusional.

In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from The Good Wife, Who Killed the Electric Car, and an 80s 2CV print ad.

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 we talk about the inefficiency of DOGE.

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.)
