please watch the John Oliver Last Week Tonight (HBO, 2020) segment on conspiracy theories below (22 minutes). After you have watched it, please respond to the 3 corresponding questions in at least 250 words (1/2 page single spaced). The word count requirement is a total, not per question.
Because the above video includes elements of many of the topics we’ve discussed in this unit (“fake” news, social media, logical fallacies), it is good fodder for discussion. After watching, please respond to the following questions in your response:
1) Did you identify any logical fallacies in John’s argument? If not, what were some of the fallacies he alludes to being present in conspiracy theories?
2) Do you believe what John is saying about conspiracy theories and their spread? Why or why not? In other words, what is compelling about his argument and/or what turns you off to it?
3) Which conspiracy theory(ies) have you encountered and/or been tempted to believe during these last 20 months? Where did you first come across it/them?
