And why does it matter where he's from (he practiced in NY, btw)? Facts are facts, no matter where they're from, and @ScottHech posts them frequently about matters all over the country,

All good points—clearly someone with an axe to grind. Even w/o knowing Scott’s context/background, when I see something sourced so one sidedly, & narrowly, it’s always a major red flag the source may have an axe to grind—Journalism 101 stuff.

Sometimes there is only one side... He should, however, have sourced the original article.

Fair point. Always important to have the source material where possible. Wasn’t hard to find, though.

I try not to promote propaganda/reward clickbait. So I screenshot it. Anyone could find it if they wanted to.

Citing propaganda and ripping it apart to prove its true colors and those of its author and editors is not rewarding/promoting it.

You know how human psych works tho. And people read headlines and not the content ALL the time. It removes that risk from the situation.

If someone took the time to read the thread, which was very long, I don't think they're the type of people who are going to be only reading headlines.

When the propagation of the message contributes to the overall reach & effect, I think it’s responsible to not spread it overtly. Offering the info for us to reference it ourselves VERY easily but not directly linking is *incredibly* common & justly so among responsible writers

I hear you. I feel they could more "responsible". I also feel it hurts their credibility and makes them look extremely untruthfully biased by not sourcing the material they're critiquing.

...i.e., let the readers decide for themselves what side is right, instead of just trusting the author. History has shown us the latter is a slippery slope.
