FD: "therefore" -- illogical Do you deny then that newspaper men have generally better access and knowledge of current events than the average citizen?
HG: was a crackpot -- denying it pits you against the facts
Nowhere did I deny Greeley's eccentricities. But attacking his character does nothing to disprove his profession as a newspaper man, which means that he generally had better access to current events than the average citizen.

Frederick Douglass and Horace Greeley had no access at all to the operational aspects of the war, especially the existence of those phantom black Confderates whom neo-Confederates love to conjure up. Your relying one ill-informed source to corroborate another is highly illogical.
