An excellent example of the first technique of "tu quoque" as described in the article.. I am looking forward to seeing your examples of the remaining techniques!

Good explanation by them, maybe because politico is so adapt at propaganda? It is a good argument to evaluate ethical misbehavior but is not at all applicable in a geopolitical context. Credibility is an important currency in journalism or when would it stop being applied?

The authors are a professor of Ukrainian studies and a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow in Psychology at the University of Cambridge; both are members of the Disinformation and Media Literacy Working Group there.. This strikes me as having quite a bit of credibility with regard to the topic of the article.

Are you referring to specific examples of Politico being 'adept at propaganda' or is this another example of "tu quoue"?
