You're dismissing claims because of their source, and this is NOT a valid way of dismissing claims.
Whenever I've said "Fake News" about CNN, and then you turn around and do this stuff, has proven to me you don't get the point I'm trying to get across in my posts.
This is a battle of the Hypocrites, and no one wins a battle using tainted tools.

It's absolutely a valid way of dismissing claims when the 'source' has a documented, historic record of falsifying information and publishing articles that are demonstrably untrue. No medical journal will publish anything written by Andrew Wakefield because he wrote an article with falsified data in order to implicate vaccines as causing autism. The Bogdanoff Twins can't work in physics anymore because they submitted a paper that was literally just filled with pseudo-technical nonsensical jargon. And nobody trusts Brian Williams as a war reporter anymore because he lied about flying in a crashed helicopter.
Any rational person knows to ignore people who are habitual bullstuffters. You have an obligation as a writer to follow journalistic integrity, and you aren't entitled to second chances after you knowingly disregard the rules. Giving people a blank slate just because it's a new claim only guarantees that you'll be debunking their bullstuff over and over.

This might unironically be your dumbest loving post ever. You aren't usually that bad so this kinda hit me with a highly painful mental barrage of dumb. Normally when I see it's from Mathew or something I can brace but in your case it really caught me off-guard.
Are you aware of how ridiculously stuffty this logic is? You can use this line of bullstuff to endorse anything. You're actually telling Seven that because he doesn't accept the loving Daily Stormer--a Neo national socialist rag--as a valid news source, he's somehow outed himself as a fool in denial? How loving ironic that you pretend like he's the ignorant one while stuffing so much stuff down your throat. It's a ridiculous catch-22 that should only exist as a loving joke. Nice job embarrassing yourself in front of everyone.

This applies to you too, though we've all come to expect this sort of reasoning from you.
Mr Queeba:
yet another classic case of tony not giving a forget about posting reliable sources, or hell, any source at all.

Yiiiikes
Sorry I don't outright dismiss a source and 100% unreliable just because of the ideology of the people who write for it? I mean, did you at least read the article or did you join the circlejerk over the url name and use it as a cumrag instead? I dont even do that stuff with CNN, lol. They're reporting on info that came from someone at the scene, Mark Antro filmed it. You can get pissy about them being neo national socialists all you want, I really dont care, doesn't invalidate their reporting. If it were false reporting, then it's not valid, pretty simple.
He is proving Tony's point, get over it you cucumber
