Is it impossible to discuss the merit of an article without stating "This is too far right"????
- CompanionCuuube 7y agoFor some, yes. One has to have the cognitive ability to separate the messenger from the content.
- happytoexplain 7y agoThe messenger is part of the content. If Alex Jones screams some anti-liberal hate, I can rationally make some assumptions about the quality of his message before even committing time and energy to vetting his statements. This is normal, and vetting all statements would be impossible. This is a useful filter, if applied prudently.
- not_a_cop75 7y agoThe messenger does not automatically discredit the message. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
- masonic 7y agoFor many people, yes. None of the critics here, for example, has challenged a single element of the article as factually false (let alone providing any supporting data for same).
