Need for First Hand Accounts - FT#99

In the ninety-ninth episode we explore the Need for First Hand Accounts, starting with Trump claiming historians can't know whether a Civil War battle took place because they weren't there, and that Maggie Haberman has no way of knowing whether Trump clogged White House toilets with documents . In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Sir Robert Goodwill MP's claim that the fact he hasn't personally been made aware of a specific person who died because Boris had parties during the lockdown, it's all fine. We also hear Rachel Johnson's views on lazy work-from-homers and Femi Oluwole pointing out that Boris doesn't have the expertise to dismiss the Government's economists. In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Ken Ham, This is Spinal Tap, Dana White and Frederick Forsyth. 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 Tucker Carlson's meltdown over the Biden Administration's plan to crack down on misinformation. And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.
