Red Herring - Critical Thinking Fallacies | WIRELESS PHILOSOPHY
In this Wireless Philosophy video, Joseph Wu (University of Cambridge) introduces you to the red herring, a rhetorical device and fallacy that is often difficult to spot.

Wu walks us through this rhetorical device and shows us how to avoid committing a fallacy.
