Your argument is manipulative and fallacious. I doubt you have ever subscribed to the Atlantic.

1. Authors of articles do not necessarily reflect the viewpoint of the owners of a publication, except for articles clearly listed as editorial and representing the authors.

2. It is possible to believe that Twitter had become a racist alt-right hellsite (hint, it has) and yet want to connect with readers or potential readers. This is a commercial decision.

3. I’m curious what you think legacy media is doing since you provide no details and the rest of your post suggests you share some disturbing opinions on “MSM.”



This is an amazing Gish gallop. Sprinkling in speculation, "read the terms and conditions", claims without sources, and ad hominem.


No he dressed down why your post is dishonest, and you responded with ad hominem.

Is this ad hominem? If not, why?

> It is possible to believe that Twitter had become a racist alt-right hellsite (hint, it has)

Is this speculation? If not, why?

Where? Is it this part ("Your argument is manipulative and fallacious"), where a conclusion is drawn without evidence? If so, why? And if not, where?
