Worth repeating. Because it's the most intelligent post on the thread.

No, it's one of the stupidest posts in the thread. Criticizing the messenger instead of the message is a classic logical fallacy, hence it fits the textbook definition of stupidity. If you can't find any faults in the accuracy of the message but simply insist it must be wrong because of who the messenger is, then you're being stupid. If one of the candidates murdered somebody, I would expect Democrats to report it. Would that make the message false?

You unquestioningly accept Harrop's description of events, motivations and outcomes, huh?

Then, you must view them thru the same prism she does, sharing her views, huh?

You trust this messenger? Isn't that kind of, well, "stupid"?

Good evening.
