The actual form of the argument that Alex is making is this. Premise one, if the media blames the Patriots, then they're moving ahead with it. Premise two, the media is blaming the Patriots. Conclusion, therefore, they are moving ahead with it. In this clip, we're seeing the first premise and the conclusion introduced, which is why this is super dangerous. Alex still needs premise two in order to have this construction of an argument work. And if we see him manipulating things in order to establish premise two that the media is blaming the Patriots, then what you're really seeing is him lying and manipulating to justify the conclusion that they're moving ahead with it and there's going to be bombings everywhere. This is pretty basic deception stuff.
