For this week’s episode we get to dive further into what Rhonda majored in during college! Join us as she walks through the basic fallacies that you likely see in your every day, especially in the media. Did they just use an appeal to emotion? Is that a strawman argument? What exactly is a fallacy fallacy? By knowing more about these, we hope it will help you take a second look at something before you accept it at face value!
