Key Metrics
Us vs. Them
Dividing the world into two camps — people like us (good, trustworthy) and people not like us (dangerous, wrong). It exploits a deep human tendency to favor our own group. Once you accept the division, information from "them" gets automatically discounted.
Tajfel's Social Identity Theory (1979); Minimal Group Paradigm

Viewer Guidance
People or groups are reduced to types. Consider whether the characterization serves the argument more than the truth.
Information is consistently shaped from one angle. Seek out how other sources present the same facts.
Arguments rely on assumptions treated as obvious. Ask what you'd need to already believe for the claims to land.
