I must admit I'd probably explode on the talk page along the lines of "that
reference really is complete shit" and then expand from there ;-) My past
experience of this is links to Israel News Network (INN) on [[Current
events]] - despite the 'l33t-sounding name, it's a small-time and very
partisan news source, and in no way whatsoever comparable to CNN, BBC, NYT
or whatever as a source for the ten or so most important things that
happened in the world on that day. But try getting that across to its fans.
(This is when I got tagged a Palestine apologist, whatever Alberuni might
say about me.)
