Re: Christians should NOT vote for Donal Trump
Media works the way Churchill once nailed someone for using that wicked tactic they use....
He told the individual interrogating him, who demanded he simply say YES or NO. Nothing else. Churchill said some questions cannot be answered yes or no.
"Have you stopped beating your wife?" Whether the respondent answers yes or no, they will admit to having a wife and having beaten her at some time in the past. Thus, these facts are presupposed by the question, and in this case an entrapment, because it narrows the respondent to a single answer, and the fallacy of many questions has been committed. The fallacy relies upon context for its effect: the fact that a question presupposes something does not in itself make the question fallacious. Only when some of these presuppositions are not necessarily agreed to by the person who is asked the question does the argument containing them become fallacious.
It's like someone coincidentally raises their hand and extends the index finger and the little finger while clenching the others. AHA! THE SIGN OF SATAN! He's giving the sign of satan! He's a covert satanist.
It's nonsensical twisting of the actual picture.
And, voila! You have just a touch of the tactics media uses!
It's like a CNN reporter asked a black man at a Trump rally what he thought of white supremicists voting for Trump. The black man caught the ruse and said it has nothing to do with Trump himself. He asked the reporter what about racists voting for Hillary. the man refused to reply. CNN is biased for democrats and Fox is biased for Republicans. Two-way street. I thought all Americans knew that.
