re the Drew Pearson Fallacy
This was pretty funny, perhaps only to me, back then:

One good thing about a cat, or a dog, rather than, say, a parrot, or a journalist, is that with the cat or dog, you can curse them out, and they don't later quote you.
The cat has the added advantage, over the dog, that they don't even know, or if they do know, they don't care.
The parrot has the advantage, over the journalist, that although it too can quote you, it does not know that it is doing wrong.

re WHAT I NOW CALL THE DREW PEARSON FALLACY
An old rant on the topic:

Unfortunately, people like Snowden are not an appropriate
' antidote ' for the fallacy.
