The Usurper:It is logical to keep it in mind but it doesn't necessarily "raise the odds" as his information can easily be checked out.  If what you say is true, then no news source is trustworthy as all of us, no matter what we claim to the contrary, have a bias.  I am biased toward the conservative view.  But if I report on something the Democrats said or did, the fact that I favor conservatism doesn't preclude my truth telling with regard to my reporting.  You commit a logical fallacy when you paint the report because of the source.  The source MAY be relevant to the criticism, but it doesn't simply follow that since the reporter is close to the story then the story must be taken with a grain of salt. 



I do get your point but I'm still right.
