Fallacies- playing with fire?

Fallacies are powerful rhetorical tools.  They can be used to help the reader see the writer's point of view or twist the truth into deceiving innocent bystanders to be swayed to one side.  Fallacies are so common in the media these days that it can be hard to truly distinguish what is truth and what is partial truth.  But that doesn't mean it can't be entertaining.  TV commercials are taking the trend of involving fallacies to draw humor and it is a model that has proven successful.  On the other hand we have politics, which can be a nightmare.  I have to also watch out for how much bias I am taking in because it seems each party uses fallacies to their extremes to get their point across.  So we also see fallacies being implemented for good and bad, but in my personal opinion it adds flavor to life.  Not many just want to the dull boring facts, they want exciting "Hollywood" kind of information.   As for using fallacies in my writing, I'm not sure how comfortable I would be using it.  I like to make logical appeals based on truth and fact, and overusing a fallacy may discredit my authority.  It's not a risk I would easily take.  On a moral standpoint, I would have to draw my line on certain situations between harmless fun and serious fact.  However, this is rhetorical writing so I do see the effectiveness of fallacies.  In this life there are things we control, things we have no control over, and things we can influence.  All we can do is master our dominion what we can and hope for the best.
