Double Standard - FT#83

Fallacious Trump

In the eighty-third episode we explore the Double Standard Fallacy, starting with Trump selectively accepting the media 'calling' the election depending on who won, Kayleigh McEnany claiming Biden's phone call to Ghani was impeachable due to a quid pro quo, and Candace Owens invoking absolute medical freedom but definitely not for abortion.

In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at David Cameron's inconsistent stance on using social media to arrange protests, Ed Miliband suggesting politicians who insult police should be held to the same standards as anyone else, and Boris Johnson's sister giving him excessive benefit of the doubt.

In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from 30 Rock, King of the Hill and Wonder Woman 1984.

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

Then we talk about crazy people who call themselves sovereign citizens.

And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.
