The creators of An Illustrated Book of Bad Arguments return at last with a desperately timely guide to rhetoric.
Tens of thousands of demonstrators packed the city's streets on Friday. The actual count was 250,000. Why tens of thousands, then, and not a quarter million?
The grocer takes woke orders on its brands from a 17-year-old. The nameless 17-year-old's opinion seems not worth considering. At what age will it be?

In this adorably illustrated book, old Mr. Rabbit is your guide to these and many more examples of loaded language. He mines real reporting (by respected and rogue media alike) to unmask rhetoric that shifts blame, erases responsibility, dog-whistles, plays on fear, or rewrites history - subtly or shamelessly. It takes a long pair of ears to hear what's left unsaid - but when the very notion of truth is at stake, listening for "spin" makes all the difference.
