Because they didn’t give the actual information in the article a chance. You’re arguing that derp is good basically. That having more heavily weighted priors is always better. A narrower form of Taleb’s Lindy-effect heuristic: Ignore news, read Greek classics. Which I think is bs

It’s often better. It’s good citizenship to question potential bias of a source before taking their facts at face value. Whether the bias readers assume of their media is true or false is a separate question.

Not always better, obviously, and especially not when there are methods for reliably determining the truth. But for politics? Not clear to me. Very little "information" in politics, and it is presented for various motives which can only be assessed by knowing the source.
