If it's a tabloid level rag then perhaps I should doubt the pilling on, if any of the smear worthy stuff might be fabricated. No matter the outlet, if the material is accurate, then yes it's reasonable.

Are they known to be a reputable source and do they demonstrate bias?" Is a good way to ask it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] jpreston2005@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 child) article doesn't say anything about child porn.
