Publishing your beliefs and publishing the facts of a case are completely different things.
"Consider the source" is not an issue here, unless you wish to accuse him of lying about what he witnessed.
- EliRivers 7y agoI disagree. Nobody, but nobody, is some kind of robot perfectly witnessing and reporting events in some kind of perfect language that perfectly conveys the whole truth and nothing but the truth (despite the typical HN cyborg-wannabee viewpoint - the locally over-represented kind of person who decides they have no biases). "Consider the source" is always an issue. Always. It's unpopular to say it, and a lot of people don't like to be reminded that they don't live in a world of perfect information, but it's true.
