Some fallacies are used freely in the media and politics, for example,
the "Argumentum ad hominem", the argument by the authority of
a person. Every time a politician says another "You don't have
moral authority to say that" is using that fallacy, not attacking the argument, but the person who uses it. In the opposite direction is the use of "Celebrity Speakerpersons": that product
is good because (put your favorite celebrity here) endorses it.
Actually, I think this should just be added to
logical fallacy (maybe). On the
logical fallacy page you could make a subpage, like /List of fallacies, if you didn't want to list the fallacies right there on the page.
