Viewer Guidance (3 tips)

▶

Consider alternative frames

Information is consistently shaped from one angle. Seek out how other sources present the same facts.

▶

Question unstated assumptions

Arguments rely on assumptions treated as obvious. Ask what you'd need to already believe for the claims to land.

▶

Watch for group characterization

People or groups are reduced to types. Consider whether the characterization serves the argument more than the truth.
