Fallacies are types of arguments based on faulty reasoning and logically unsound. They may be delivered loudly and with a conviction that makes them sound as though they are provable facts. Fallacies are classified as either formal or informal. Informal fallacies are commonly found in mass media (radio, television, newspapers) and social media. A formal fallacy is a flaw in the structure of a deductive argument that renders it invalid.
