Shifting the Burden of Proof - FT#38

In the thirty-eighth episode we explore Shifting the Burden of Proof, starting with examples from Trump tweeting about fraudulent votes and then talking about drones shot down near Iran.

In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Boris Johnson and Michael Gove dodging reporters questions and Jo Swinson suggesting the reporter go and do the research.

In the Fallacy in the Wild, we check out examples from Luther, Christopher Hitchens and Bertrand Russell.

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.

Then we breakdown the latest impeachment hearings.

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.)
