In the eighth episode we explore the Moving the Goalposts Fallacy, with examples from Trump talking about Obama's birth certificate and his yuge electoral college win, and the entire administration's shifting stories on the Trump Tower meeting with the Russians.
In Mark's UK Politics Corner we look at Boris Johnson's goalpost moving over a referendum on the Euro.
In The Fallacy in the Wild, we check out examples from Friends and Monty Python.
Jim and Mark go head to head in Fake News, the game where Mark has to guess which of three Trump quotes Jim made up.
And finally we talk about the NY Times Op Ed written by an anonymous Senior White House official and round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.
