"Ad hominem (Latin for "to the man" or "to the person"), short for argumentum ad hominem, is a logical fallacy in which an argument is rebutted by attacking the character, motive, or other attribute of the person making the argument, or persons associated with the argument, rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem

Does not apply to mainstream media. When the medium is the message, the line between attacking the message or the medium is blurred.

They don't deliver any arguments. The entire existence of SVT has one practical purpose: build political opinion. I am just saying that this is the case with them and pretty much every Swedish media outlet.
