The author clearly has a political position. But that is not the point. People on ALL parts of the political spectrum sometimes use these kinds of fallacious arguments. What I found valuable from the article is its examination of the various kinds of fallacies. Whether the person making the specious arguments is on the right or the left doesn't matter. They need to be seen through either way.

@nicestuff There is no shortage of reliable/credible sources of info about Critical Thinking/Logical Fallacies. I advocate against using less-than reliable/credible sources regardless of 'bias' (all media has bias).

@FearlessFly ... and so dismiss the article entirely without addressing any specifics? That's your perogative.

Yes, all media is biased. I don't know why you bothered with the Media Bias Fact Check link unless you just wanted to make a dismissive gesture. In that case, I offer the post for the dubious benefit of the less-enlightened, which includes me.

@nicestuff? "Founded in 2012, Medium is an online publishing platform developed by Twitter co-founder Evan Williams. Medium considers their platform as social journalism, having a hybrid collection of amateur and professional people and publications, or exclusive blogs or publishers. Basically, they are a blog host."

. . . a blog post, IOW no journalism or CT required 😛

"dubious benefit of the less-enlightened" -- which, IMO, is a good reason to provide MBFC link. 🙂

That answers my question: ... and so dismiss the article entirely without addressing any specifics?

Is there really a such thing as “ good faith”?
