The problem is that now you've evaluated that news agency or political leaning and you've stopped evaluating it, and 15 years later the message has changed but you haven't noticed.

Why would you only evaluate the news agency? You evaluate "from the claim" not "from the claimants".

I know that is what people do, and that is why this article exists, to tell them not to do that. Ironic I know. But hopefully someone will get it.
