  • Giving a garbo source the benefit of the doubt on an article-by-article basis just muddies the waters and gives an air of undeserved legitimacy to other things they publish.

    Credibility and trust are built over time; throwing out a “look, THIS article is okay” every so often does not make them a credible source.

    If the facts are solid, then there should be at least one other reputable source reporting on them. If only a sensationalist rag is covering it, maybe ask why that is.

    I notice you aren’t disputing the facts here, just the source.

    This is the same argument I’ve seen used by people trying to legitimize Fox News and RT, BTW.
