Argumentum ad populum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In logic, an argumentum ad populum (Latin for "appeal to the people") is a fallacious argument that concludes a proposition to be true because many or all people believe it; it alleges: "If many believe so, it is so."
This type of argument is known by several names,[1] including appeal to the masses, appeal to belief, appeal to the majority, appeal to the people, argument by consensus, authority of the many, and bandwagon fallacy, and in Latin by the names argumentum ad populum ("appeal to the people"), argumentum ad numerum ("appeal to the number"), and consensus gentium ("agreement of the clans"). It is also the basis of a number of social phenomena, including communal reinforcement, the bandwagon effect, and the spreading of various religious beliefs. The Chinese proverb "three men make a tiger" concerns the same idea.


Most Americans trust Fox News, so it must be trustworthy

Why not? Do you believe Obama has committed illegal acts?

Obama committed at least one illegal act before he became POTUS. But if you never listen to FOX News you'd never know that.


Im waiting and open to what you are saying. What illegal act? And yes, I do listen to Fox news on occasion..

That every link you want to make to an anti-Fox poll there is a matching link to a pro-Fox poll.

The inaccuracies of your bogus George Soros funded poll have already been discussed, I didnt feel a need to rehash that.

They may well be around but neither of them are "investigative journalists" like they were when they broke the WaterGate story...talk about your obfuscation!

Ah..speaking of less than bright...one writes investigative books the other for Vanity Fair, and guess what he writes????...Go ahead, I know you can do it!...don't disappoint us...come on now!...you got it...investigative pieces...I know it's hard for you, but with help, you can get there!
See folks, with a little help even those with major disabilities like our buddy jim can make sense!

Already done use your search function. But that isnt the point. You post a poll, and then hijack yourself with ad populum fallacy links. Do you really not see how ironic that is?

How many times do right wing posters make assertions and then never provide facts to support them? I think I might start keeping count

How many times do liberals embarass themselves by contradicting themselves in one thread? Too many to count.
