Viewer Guidance

Question unstated assumptions

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

Consider alternative frames

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

Evaluate the ask

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