>Jonah Bennett previously worked at The Daily Caller and he resigned from Palladium when it was discovered he had authored some racist messages and was friends with various white nationalists.
This is the very definition of ad hominem -- you don't want to confront the messages of the essay, so you try to discredit it by highlighting that one of its authors had opinions you disagree with.

- jonstewart 4y agoI have no need to discredit Jonah Bennett--he did a fine job of that himself--and moreover he is not the author of the article. I will concede that my comment skates close to the ad hominem edge, but knowing about the publisher (as with Murdoch, Sulzberger, and Bezos, for Fox, NYT, WaPo respectively) seems useful nonetheless, for while it may be noble to argue about and discuss the ideas in the article in good faith, it's also worth asking whether Palladium is edited and published in good faith.
