Ilhan Omar connected Ballot Harvester in cash-for-ballots scheme: "Car is full" of absentee ballots

That is what is known as well-poisoning - a fallacy.

It is pointing out that this appeal to authority has appealed to an unreliable authority.

I don't argue that the information is false. I argue that the source is notoriously unreliable, and therefore the information is not worth my consideration until another more credible source backs it up.

In logical terms, I'm not coming to a conclusion, I am rejecting a premise.

But they didn't make an appeal to authority. They simply posted a video.

You well poisoned, to justify your rejection.

They posted a video from a source that is well know for doctoring videos for a partisan agenda. It is irrational to waste one's time on such a source.

Again, we do not need your description of how you are poisoning the well. We already know you are.

 

[Grim17]

You used to claim just that. It's taken you years to come around on that

No, I've never claimed anything of the sort. You must have me confused with someone else.

Last time I drank from that well it poisoned me, so I'm not drinking from it any more no matter how clean you say it is.

Not bias. Credibility. And I invite anyone to check any sources I cite against media bias fact check. If their factual reporting is anything other than "Mostly Factual" I will withdraw the source and find another. If I can't find a better source, then I suggest you not take my argument seriously in that case, just as I am not taking this Project Veritas allegation seriously.

NO, your post said nothing about credibility. It merely consisted of a link and was dry of text.

You're basically given anyone a blank check to just outright dismiss you.

That's why I clarified it by saying it was based on credibility, not bias.

So the thread with clear video evidence of vote rigging fraud is moved to consiracy theories, without any bias what so ever.

Don't be ridiculous. And no, a poorly made amateur youtube video is emphatically not reliable evidence-except for conspiracy theorists who see a communist around every corner. Best check under your bed too while you're at it.

How about high quality well researched and witness supported investigation?
