Viewer Guidance (3 tips)

▶

Question unstated assumptions

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

▶

Evaluate the ask

Calls to action follow emotional buildup. Consider whether the ask would feel as urgent without the preceding framing.

▶

Consider alternative frames

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