In the one hundred and eighteenth episode we explore the False Balance Fallacy, starting with Trump suggesting Russia and Ukraine should just negotiate, US ambassador to Canada claiming she believes both climate change and not climate change, and Presidential candidate Nikki Haley bothesidesing the Civil War.

In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Steve Hilton arguing both experts and non-experts have equally valid views on Brexit, Garry Kasparov pointing out the dangers of false balance and Emily Maitlis describing how it's done at the BBC.

In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Dara O'Briain, Good Night and Good Luck, and Horrible Bosses 2.

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 revelations from the Dominion lawsuit against Fox News.

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.)
