By attacking the messenger (Taibbi) and not the message, they only bring credibility to what he reported.
“By attacking the messenger (Taibbi) and not the message, they only bring credibility to what he reported.”
Truth.
“By attacking the messenger (Taibbi) and not the message, they only bring credibility to what he reported.”
That’s true if you’re a thinking person. To a large portion of the public, attacking the messenger invalidates the information presented.
they don’t care, they want their pound of flesh...
Glenn Greenwald has a great twitter thread breaking down these clown media scum trying to gaslight americans.
I will argue that credibility is not an issue. Getting out the anti Musk propaganda is the issue.
The MSM constituents will believe the pure propaganda message regardless of the truth or untruth
“In order to escape accountability for his crimes, the perpetrator does everything in his power to promote forgetting. Secrecy and silence are the perpetrator’s first line of defense. If secrecy fails, the perpetrator attacks the credibility of his victim. If he cannot silence her absolutely, he tries to make sure that no one listens. To this end, he marshals an impressive array of arguments, from the most blatant denial to the most sophisticated and elegant rationalization. After every atrocity one can expect to hear the same predictable apologies: it never happened; the victim lies; the victim exaggerates; the victim brought it upon herself; and in any case it is time to forget the past and move on. The more powerful the perpetrator, the greater is his prerogative to name and define reality, and the more completely his arguments prevail.”
