The Last Presidential Debate

HOMEWORK: Please watch the last debate tonight at 9:00 if you can.

Look for these logical fallacies:

  • Slippery Slope: the conclusion that if X happens, then Y will eventually also happen. 
  • Hasty Generalization: A conclusion based on insufficient data.
  • Genetic fallacy: The origins of a person (or who they are) determines their effectiveness/qualifications.
  • Circular Argument: Restating an argument without actually proving it.
  • Ad Hominem: an attack on the character of a person rather than his/her beliefs or statements/actions/etc.
  • Straw Man: Oversimplifying an opponent's viewpoint.
  • Moral equivalence: Comparing minor misdeeds with huge atrocities.

    FOX's audio was horrible last night. Horrible buzzing sound. I watched on CBS instead. Donald Trump will make Fox News great again. #StopTheBuzzing
