Alternate Headline: "How the Washington Post has Lost all Credibility under Trump"

Bob Loblaw ..We disagree. The Washington Post's misleading reporting, lies-by-omission and anti-Trump propaganda in the past few years is indisputable. By the way, "Bob Loblaw" is a brilliant profile name. Arrested Development is an all-time classic.

@phatsdonahue2516 ..Good point. And let's remember that insults are the worst possible way to disagree/debate. I often remind people like "Bob Loblaw" to Google the "7 Levels of Disagreement". They'll note that insults and ad-hominem are the bottom two levels. In other words, they're completely useless. People should always try to achieve at least Level 4- Counterargument. I wish more people understood the principles of effective discussions/debate... as you clearly do.

@SteffenHellmich ..It appears you disagree with my comment regarding how the WaPo has lost all credibility in the past few years. There's 7 Levels to effectively disagree/debate. From worst to best: - Level 1- Using only insults. - Level 2- Ad-hominem attacks. - Level 3- Criticizing the other person's tone, way of communicating, etc. - Level 4- Contradicting the other person with no other argument. For example, just saying "You're wrong" or stating the opposite view. - Level 5- Counterargument, which is contradicting the other person's view but backing it up with reasoning or evidence. - Level 6- Refuting other person's argument using hard evidence. - Level 7- Completely refuting the central principle under discussion. So....You can see that your use of Ad-hominem is completely useless. The fact I'm a Trump supporter is completely irrelevant to the topic I raised. While you did expand your comment to talk about Trump's performance, that's what's called a "strawman argument". In other words, it's a completely separate discussion. Bottom line, if you disagree with my claim that the WaPo has lost all credibility in the past few years, you must achieve at least Level 5- Counterargument to try to prove me wrong.
