Essentially, parts of the whole are true, therefore the whole is true. Sounds like fallacy of composition .

all critiques of it should be dismissed... Sounds a tad hasty to me, but more opinion and weak argument than a fallacy. |

Appeal to authority? If they're describing something as evidence-based, then they would appear to be invoking either science, government officials who supposedly conducted some sort of investigation, or possibly media rats with their polls and surveys. If the "evidence" they speak of is faked, then there might also be another fallacy involved - or should we just call it a lie? |
