DiogenesLamp: "Might as well cite CNN. The British press is in many ways more liberal than the American press."

And yet, DiogenesLamp himself is happy to cite the British press or British authors whenever they can be used to serve his purposes.

Well first of all, this is a "You're another" fallacy. (Tu quoque fallacy.)

And secondly, I don't think you can find any examples of me citing the modern British press on anything. The 1862 example of which you are thinking is self evidently true on the face of it.

"The principle is not that a human being cannot justly own another, but that he cannot own him unless he is loyal to the United States."
