There are still quite a lot of people who think that whatever an authority, such as the government, says is accepted as true. Argumentum ad verecundiam or appeal to authority. Thankfully I'm not like that, especially since I'm knowledgeable and well educated.

"replies simply do not accomplish" ... what?Not accomplishing a non-explanatory dunk on the OP?
#Journalists that "quote post" are not interested in a dialog searching for #Truth (aka "Communicating effectively")
They're trying to undermine communication by intersecting an #AppealToAuthority by virtue of their #byline.
"Quote Posting" is media's technique for tagging the quoted post" as a nonsensical diversion unworthy of debate.
