So "facts from his standpoint" are an accurate description of what an opinion IS.
It really has reached the point where we can't tell the difference any more. 
Isn't that the goal of politics? |
Ummm... yeah. Aren't you the same guy that basically said Fox is legit for no other reason than they aren't Dan Rather?

The expression red herring is an idiom referring to a device which intends to divert the audience from the truth or an item of significance.
A straw man argument is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position.[1] To "attack a straw man" is to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by substituting it with a superficially similar yet unequivalent proposition (the "straw man"), and refuting it, without ever having actually refuted the original position.
