At this point there's honest reporting and unadulterated lies, there's no sides, and only one honest perspective. Those that lie don't even agree with each other and contradict one another's stories and sometimes even contradict their own stories every time they open their democracy hating mouths.
IMO, that sentiment would be MORE credible coming from an ACTUAL journalistic source.
Since I sat on the editorial board of a national newspaper, I would say it conveys the message with as little type as possible.
I usually have to check for myself before quoting anyone.
