“That's exactly how Journalism works. As opposed to say CNN and their 'anonymous sources' that have been wrong nearly every time they've spoken.
I can't believe you don't know basic debate.”
Now you’re just being silly.
When you attempt to validate a point of view in a published article as “journalism” using your articles which also reference which also reference you own articles, ad nauseum, you’re constructing a narrative based on a house of cards. That’s bad journalism.
Anonymous sources are the cornerstone of American journalism and are protected under the First Amendment as free speech. Hell, Trump uses it all the time when he says bullshit like “people are saying...” or “I heard somewhere...” and then proceeds to lie his ass off. Tucker Carlson used it as a defense when he falsely claimed a few weeks back that “someone” sent him irrefutable proof on a thumb drive that conveniently got lost by FedEx, was then found and then it was discovered there was nothing on the thumb drive...or something like that.
You can thrown around terms like ‘ad hominem’ and other buzzwords ‘conservatives’ love to use, but it doesn’t mean it actually applies.
The article is full of pointless nonsense that references more pointless nonsense and lies and all of it spirals itself into oblivion. NewsMax and Fox News have publicly stated that they have absolutely no evidence of voter fraud. It doesn’t exist. So chasing red herrings down rabbit holes regarding Dominion or whatever flavor-of-the-moment bell you crackpots are ringing, it’s all a waste of time.
The facts of the article...Company A sold to Conpany B who transferred to Company C...may be correct but they are all ultimately pointless, because there’s no evidence of voter fraud (other than the Trump supporter who had his dead mother vote for Trump and got caught).
So, yes, “vetting” the source of the article is 100% acceptable and should be encouraged. I get my news sources from established, credible outlets and journalists who’ve spent their entire careers in the pursuit of truth.
You get yours from college kids attending C-level universities that are touted by conspiracy-promoting, crackpot websites. Is that an ad hominem attack or am I just being a reasonable?
It’s a rhetorical question, because I know what the crackpot is going to answer and I know what a reasonable person will answer.
For the record, GWAR is a great band. It just sounded funny to throw them in.
