I'm frankly amazed you haven't been banned for spamming, because essentially - and at least according to one mod, that's what your presence amounts to.

Host's sources, as with any source, should be questioned. Unfortunately with the glut of information that we have at our fingertips in this age, one has to take that much more time and effort in seeking out what truth, if any, lies in these articles. Host, would I be mistaken to think that you would be the first to admit this?
I don't see why the onus is on Host to make sure his sources are ironclad anymore than it is on the rest of us. Of course it takes a long time to discover what's reliable and what is not, if that is even possible. If you want to throw in some valid contribution to these discussions, you'll just have to take the time to do some research and build a strong opinion.
matthew330 - In the time it took you to criticize Host you could have gone on to the Guardian U.K. website and searched for a relevant article to either contribute to the discussion or formed an opinion based on it.
