Moral Equivalence (Redux) FT#147

In the one hundred and forty seventh episode we take another look at the Moral Equivalence Fallacy, starting with Trump comparing January 6 insurrectionists with BLM protestors, Dinesh D'Souza comparing Trump to Navalny, and Matthew Dowd comparing sexual assault to mishandling emails. In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Shelagh Fogarty comparing silence over ministerial misdeeds to hiding in a fridge, and Rishi Sunak and Sam Armstrong equating pro-Palestinian protestors with war criminals, and . In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Halt and Catch Fire, Criminal Minds, and The I.T. Crowd. 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 Trump's insane Presidential Records Act defense in his Florida trial. And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.
