I would hope the average HN reader has a higher capacity for critical thought than a binary decision to blackball an entire news source. if you really do what you are saying here you won't read any source on anything, ever.

Regarding a source's credibility and ignoring it outright are two different things entirely. I was just agreeing with Crichton that publications need to be held to a consistent standard across all areas of coverage.

That's a fair distinction. I would apply that reputation to the author and possibly aggregate that for the outlet though. I don't think it's as easy as judging CNN as a whole based on a single piece.
