I decided to write this post on behalf of the fallacies that were discussed in the first chapter. Of the logical fallacies that were discussed within the book, the one I chose to research was that of the Ad Hominem Fallacy; though more than that were found within the article. This fallacy occurs when an argument has in sued and the person or source of the argument is being attacked.
Instead of the content of that argument being judged by merit the source of that content is being judged or attacked. This may occur even if one agrees with the content of the argument but attacks the source because they dislike or are trying to discredit that person.
These type of logical fallacies can occur in all corners of the media such as newspapers, blogs,
