personally, the editor of tablet elevating a claim that immigrants are third world trash put me off that magazine permanently

Ted Turner once said something egregiously stupid and wrong and ever since then I discounted everything CNN did or reported.

Guessing it’s what he said in 2002? But the Tablet EIC made these remarks last week. Not really equivalent, although you’re entitled to your media choices.

I was pointing out the bad reasoning you’ve employed.

It's bad reasoning to say that I don't trust the editorial decisions of someone who cosigns that immigrants are trash?

From Wikipedia:

A referendum to dissolve parliament and give the prime minister power to make law was submitted to voters, and it passed with 99 per cent approval, 2,043,300 votes to 1300 votes against.[83] According to historian Mark Gasiorowski, "There were separate polling stations for yes and no votes, producing sharp criticism of Mosaddeq" and that the "controversial referendum...gave the CIA's precoup propaganda campaign to show up Mosaddeq as an anti-democratic dictator an easy target".[84]

A person has to be very gullible to believe 99% of the vote went one way in a fair election involving 2+ million people.

Thank you for that convincing insight.
