For instance if the article is about KBR's ties to Halliburton and Dick Cheney and how they were given lucrative contracts in Iraq by Author X and he has ties to the Weather Underground, which is tied to George Sorros, and then discovering that George Sorros is the largest financial supporter of the Democratic party and Barrak Obama, then discovering that George Sorros bought 1.9 million shares of Halliburton stock in 2006 (which he did)..

You have a real WTF moment regardless of what is in the article. As Halliburton/Dick Cheney/and George Bush epitomize evil in liberal eyes.

I completely understand all that. It's good to know who the source is, but what I'm saying is regardless of who says what, a simple check of the facts will tell you if they're telling the truth or not. Regardless of motive. Knowing the source just affirms it a little bit more. Some people refuse to check the source or the information given. That's when it gets pathetic.
