Reply #141: What I see is a classic deflection argument on the part of Mr. Thompson

[Generic Other]

Will Pitt accuses CHB of tabloidy journalism in not naming sources of gossipy items, and instead of refuting or defending, CHB chooses to mount a personal attack of Pitt full of details of his personal life anyone could glean from a search of DU archives.

I, the average reader, must conclude that Will Pitt's criticism has stung Thompson enough that he has lost his journalistic objectivity in favor of ad hominem arguments. Ergo, next time I read a tidbit of info in CHB with an unsourced quote, I must decide how trustworthy the reporter who shares the tip.

Will Pitt wins this round.
