>> Scroll.in is not a valid news source. > Of course, the classic ad hominem fallacy. That's not ad hominem.

  The commentator discarded the data presented by Scroll.in because s/he feels that Scroll.in is not a valid source. Classic ad hominem, in which the rebuttal was made by pointing to the name of the source - not the contents of it.

    Discarding an argument due to the source is ad hominem, discarding data presented by an unreliable source is not.

      Scroll is much better news source than many. It's not dailymail. Most of the Indian media just parrot government line. http://m.ndtv.com/india-news/arun-shouries-speech-on-media-freedom-at-press-club-of-india-full-transcript-1710491 http://m.ndtv.com/india-news/arun-shouries-speech-on-media-f...

        Sroll is an opinion blog, not a news source. I am being serious, out of the articles on the site, ~80% are pure opinion pieces.

          Maybe, but the ones on demonetisation and Aadhaar were not opinion pieces and came with plenty of citations to third-party news sources.
