Bingo. I think it is OK to attack the source in addition to the content, but not OK to just dismiss the source.

OK: This is the kind of biased reporting I have come to expect from CNN. They say this but omit that, and it gives a very slanted outlook.

Not OK: I am not going to waste my time reading anything from CNN. They are just the propaganda arm of the DNC. Everybody knows that.
