NYT and Politifact may be biased, but your comment is very bad argument. "Agree with me, because otherwise I'll laugh at you"? Shouldn't LWers strive to root out these kinds of arguments instead of upvoting them?

That comment was not an argument.

A wise man would have interpreted it as a warning: "You're being ridiculous".
