2. find an example of a logical fallacy used in the media. For the example you find, you’ll describe the source of the fallacy, (where and when did you spot it?)

3. Include a link to what you’re describing, the specifics about its use – ie: what was said, in what context, which logical fallacy it represents, and why you think your chosen example is an example of that fallacy. Be sure to include:

a summary (in your own words) of the fallacy itself.

a summary of the media item itself.

a statement about why you think that media item is a good example of that fallacy.
