I can't say I have any problem with this particular move, but man, you can't just assert that as if that's an obvious fact.

I’m not sure where exactly this particular Schelling fence stands, but it’s safe to say Alex Jones is on the other side of it.

Alex Jones spreads absolute hateful nonsense with no journalistic value whatsoever. There isn't a clear border between a dissenting opinion and raving lunatic but there is a border and he is very far across it. Take the US criminal standard of evidence: beyond a reasonable doubt. He is a lying lunatic beyond a reasonable doubt.

Still , thats not a valid argument, it's complete red herring ['not a slippery slope' vs 'alex jones is bad' :L unrelated - i kinda lose faith when i see lack of basic logic here]

He's right though, it is fact.

I thought they asserted it as if it were an obvious opinion.

I guess you're asserting that they didn't…
