  distinct fallacies you see committed in the
  media. Do you think it is more likely that you
  will not be fooled by these fallacies having
  studied logic? What do you think those presenting
  these arguments assume about the logical skills
  of their viewers? Is this a good or bad
  assumption for them to make?
