Maxim Short Cuts | Fishing for Truth

By Jason Heale June 27, 2023

In the column this week, Researcher Natasha Baulis explores the fallacious fish swimming in the news pond. She explores misleading appeals to authority and red herrings to equip us to consume responsibly and take control of our news diet. Natasha urges us to consider what “fish” is on our hook before we take it to the kitchen.

Join us as we highlight some of the more thought-provoking aspects of our column, talk about the critical issues, and listen to the column read by the author.
