Jim and Mark use the insane ramblings of a tiny-handed narcissist to explain logical fallacies. Each episode we focus on a single logical fallacy and, using examples from Trump, UK politics and pop culture, explore how and why it fools people, how to avoid committing it yourself, and how to counter it in an argument.

episode 138: Bulverism - FT#138
In the one hundred and thirty eighth episode we explore the Bulverism Fallacy, starting with Trump suggesting reporters are against him and indictments are political persecution.
In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at a Red Herring from Rishi, Nigel Farage questioning Coutts motives for closing his account, and Mike Graham losing an argument to a carpenter.
In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Friends, Sister Sister, and Casablanca.
Jim and Mark go head to head in Fake News, the game in which Mark (and our special guest Ian) have to guess which one of three Trump quotes Jim made up.
Then we talk our guest, author, stand up and QED Quiz host Ian Hawkins.
And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.
