Viewer Guidance (3 tips)

Consider alternative frames

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

Watch for group characterization

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

Question unstated assumptions

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