Ok.

To assume the truth of something only based on profession or historical accomplishments is an appeal to authority fallacy.

Done.

"He's a journalist!" So?

"He once exposed this great story!" So?

Neither are actual arguments of the truth of current statements.

that's not what's happening here. i didn't say it's not true. i said he's a journalist. if you can disprove what he said, you should.

if you think he's not a journalist it's on you to provide a reason. he investigates and publishes news stories. he's a journalist.
