The flawed reasoning in the argument above is most similar to that in which one of the following?
Your newspaper cannot be trusted with the prerogative to criticize the ethics of our company: you misspelled our president's name.
Your news program cannot be trusted to judge our hiring practices as unfair: you yourselves unfairly discriminate in hiring and promotion decisions.
Your regulatory agency cannot condemn our product as unsafe: selling it is allowed under an existing-product clause.
Your coach cannot be trusted to judge our swimming practices: he accepted a lucrative promotional deal from a soft-drink company.
Your teen magazine should not run this feature on problems afflicting modern high schools: your revenue depends on not alienating the high school audience.
