Introduction:

In this assignment, you are going to apply your training in identifying logical fallacies in a talk radio show from 2011. Whether you agree or disagree with the Occupy Wall Street movement  (Links to an external site.)is not the point, so please do not let your own personal politics get in the way. There are many logical arguments on both sides of the Occupy Wall Street situation that could have been used. But talk radio often employs other tactics to persuade its listeners, many of which are logical fallacies.
