    Thank you for the sources. Greenwald is so far right and has gone so far off the deep end of conspiracy theory stuff that it really doesn’t make sense to believe anything he says.

        Ok.

        To assume the truth of something only based on profession or historical accomplishments is an appeal to authority fallacy.

        Done.

        “He’s a journalist!” So?

        “He once exposed this great story!” So?

        Neither are actual arguments of the truth of current statements.

          if you think he’s not a journalist it’s on you to provide a reason. he investigates and publishes news stories. he’s a journalist.

          that’s not what’s happening here. i didn’t say it’s not true. i said he’s a journalist. if you can disprove what he said, you should.
