In her first debate attempt, Samantha Booke cites one of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's fireside chats, a series of 31 talks he gave via radio between 1933 and 1944, as her source that most welfare benefits go to children, handicapped, and old people. Melvin B. Tolson, the debate coach, states she's used the faulty assumption fallacy because the fireside chats are not reputable sources. Consider how you evaluate sources. Should presidential addresses be considered reputable sources for a debate? Why or why not?
