Scapegoating - FT#141

In the one hundred and forty first episode we explore the Scapegoating Fallacy, starting with Trump blaming China for COVID and immigrants for crime, as well as Elon Musk blaming the Anti-Defamation League for Twitter losing ad revenue. In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at 30p Lee Anderson blaming food banks on people who can't cook, and Robert Jenrick blaming a lawyer for his (lack of) political career. In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Little Caesars, In Sickness and In Health, and Bob's Burgers. 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 Jim talks to our guest Reed Galen, co-founder of the Lincoln Project. And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.
