Talk:Appeal to authority

So...

What exactly is "appeal to authority?" All I get from this article is that it's something conservatives apparently don't like, but there's no definition. Jazzman831 17:00, 3 July 2007 (EDT)

Here's the difference between an appeal to authority in two different conservative news sites:

• Just the News: Federal judge releases Jeffrey Epstein's 2019 suicide note;

• Daily Caller: Judge Releases Alleged Epstein Suicide Note.

Notice how the Just the News headline gives John Solomon's organization more confidential access to inside sources.

Also, how the story shifts focus away from the administration to the courts.

The question is, Who asked for the note to be sealed? RobS^{Abnormal is fine. Stupid isn't.} 20:46, May 9, 2026 (EDT)
