Appeal to authority

Citing an expert or institution to support a claim, substituting their credibility for evidence you can evaluate yourself. Legitimate when the authority is relevant; manipulative when they aren't qualified or when the citation is vague.

Viewer Guidance

Consider alternative frames

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

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

Question unstated assumptions

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