Zero Politics

In today's show I discuss two very irresponsible non sequiturs I stumbled on this week. They're so bad they're almost not worth bringing up, but I KNOW that lots of people won't even catch these glaring problems. In the Gateway Pundit case the headline is completely unsupported by the evidence cited the article. It's as if the article was written for another headline. In the trucker Carlson case it's almost as if Tucker just needed to find an example to fit his criticism rather than reporting relevant news.

In episode 16 I ask why conservatives are repeating this story about "suitcases" full of ballots in Georgia? I make the case that those suitcase are just ballot bags with chain-of-custody paper work on them. "Ballot bags" are the names of the suitcase like bags on rollers that are used to transport ballots. You can look these ballot bags up online yourself. The video purporting to show suitcase full of ballots has been purported to be highly suspicious by conservatives on Fox News, NewsMax, OANN, and all over the internet. The video and the theory is a distraction from good evidence for fraud.

In episode #15 I discussed the illogical nature of Democrat representative's attempted rebuttals to eyewitness testimony in Michigan. I also discussed the way some partisans on Twitter took clips out of context to misinform their audiences as to the nature of the eyewitness testimony.  If you like the show, consider donating. :-)

THE BATTLE OVER REFORMATTING AND UPDATING THE DOMINION VOTING MACHINES, WHY IT'S IMPORTANT, AND HOW WE CAN DO BETTER. 

It was reported that Brad Raffensperger had ordered all Dominion Voting machines in Georgia to be wiped clean and have a new version of software installed. However, in a public address Raffensperger denied that claim saying that he did NOT make such an order. He merely allowed for the removal of the data, and software, from the Dominion machines...

A judge ordered a stop to wiping the machines and installing new software, only to reverse his decision hours later. The basis for reversing the decision was that the machines were not in possession of Dominion voting, but in the possessions of the state election facility. I personally don’t know what that has to do with it. Later that night the judge placed a restraining order on Dominion Voting from accessing these machines in order to protect the software on the machines from being wiped....

I spent over 2 hours logic checking the fact checkers regarding the 2020 election. I discussed several news stories that were "fact checked" irresponsibly, and show their gross critical thinking errors. I also threw in some other stories for good measure. 

The left-leaning media, including Fox News, has continued to state that Trump's legal accusations of fraud are "baseless," and "without evidence." However, I don't think his legal team is showing up to court with empty pieces of paper containing no arguments, and no evidence. On the contrary they are providing "evidence." Whether that evidence is "proof" of fraud, or mistakes, and enough to change the outcome of the election is not for me to decide, but what I can do is point out the highly irrational arguments being made by the "fact checkers." Straw man arguments, red herring arguments, and non-sequiturs abound. I also discuss a few little 'debates' I had with people online that provide excellent examples of how badly we need critical thinking courses taught in high school.

Ted Cruz asked Jack Dorsey if Twitter can influence the election. Jack Dorsey’s response was logically absurd. 

“Trump Campaign Celebrates Massive GDP Increase” - But is it justified? 

And the Gateway Pundit runs with a very misleading headline about Hunter Biden’s affair with a Russian passport holder.

In this episode I logic check the fact checker’s response to Joe Biden’s flip-flop on Fracking. The Associated Press and CNN had opposing headlines - who’s right?

Neither of them are quite right, and here’s why.

Ep #8 - Does Liberty Mean The Freedom To Infect Other People? A Critique Of Paul Krugman’s Argument For Federal Government Covid-19 Mandates

In this episode I critique Paul Krugman’s hypocrisy, and inconsistency, with regard to demanding government mandates.

Krugman argues that:

“many things should be matters of individual choice. The government has no business dictating your cultural tastes, your faith or what you decide to do with other consenting adults.”

But Krugman has spent his who career advocating for the government to make it their business what you do with other consenting adults.

He also suggests that any time we do anything that could potentially put any one else at risk the government should get involved. But that’s just absurd. Think of all of the things we do every day that have some risk involved for others. Driving cars, playing sports, etc.
