Yes it certainly is. But it is not arrogant to question them and to check them. I hoped we were still talking about questioning sources that appear iffy. If they turn out to be iffy, then it’s up to us to show that this is the case or back down. Or even agree to differ about sources that are subjective.
In my experience ALL sources are subjective. It’s rare and probably unheard of to have a completely unbiased source. Even respected sources such as Reuters must by definition have financial backers who will undoubtedly bring a pressure (however mild or strong) as to the direction they require.

Ya know what …I do not bother about calling you names now, you ask for it,.and I may as well get hung for a sheep than a lamb
How can anybody be a ‘racist’ towards his own race ffs…you weapons grade knob..
So I am ‘against’ white people eh? …how does that work when I am white myself?
In that particular context it is about religion…ALL religion offends, no one more than others … for all the trouble it causes in the world.
There are people of certain races that follow certain religions… generally and broadly speaking and on the whole.
The main people I have a problem with are Brits who convert to Islam, that does not make me a ‘racist’ .
The ‘problem’ (or puzzle ) I have with that particular situation is why would they want to anyway, why does ANYBODY need a religion at all in the modern world.
But my main problem is because generally they tend to gob off more about it all than the indigenous ones…thinking they are ‘cool’ or have some kind of kudos,.especially the white middle class British women…but I suppose in your warped mind, that also makes me a misogynist .
Also gobby Christians who ram it down your neck…white or black offend me.
Need I go on, have you finallly grasped it?
I treat all over teligious people with the same contempt.
I treat all normal people whatever the race with the same respect I expect to receive.
I hate freeloaing illegal immigrants, nothing to do with their colour, I elwould hate them the same for what they do to my country if they were blonde Swedes.
The only ‘ist’ I could be accused of being is a ‘Franglaisist’ because seriously mate you annoy the ■■■■ out of me. 
As I keep saying…the bravado you display on here…would you tap me on the shoulder in that imaginary pub and call me a racist?
We both know you would not…not just me or anyone else…you would not have the balls.
Which takes us back full circle to my criteria for what I say on here.
Seriously mate, you are unbelievable…did you suffer some trauma as a kid, hence the attention seeking?
I will go back and re-read
As an aside, disliking a certain religion is NOT racist. That’s ridiculous as religions are creeds, not races. If I stated that I didn’t like Catholicism would that automatically make me racist against the Irish, the Spanish, the Germans, most of Latin America? Of course it wouldn’t. That’s an extremely weak argument and is usually the recourse of someone with no valid point.
If you treat men differently than women that is sexism.
Maybe you treat men better. Maybe you treat women better.
No matter, you treat them differently based on their sex.
That is sexism.
No you do not.
You have said that you treat different races differently.
Your attitude is decided by their race.
Treating individuals or groups differently because of race is racism.
It really is that simple.
Cheers mate…that is exactly what I am doing,.explaining myself to others on here…(not to the forum idiot, as I owe him nothing, especially an explanation.)
It aint the best thing to be regularly accused of being a racist by said idiot,.when I and people who know me on here know that it is totally innacurate.
Whether others who are just strangers accept that is no concern to me,.I am just feeling the need to stand up for myself anyway…again as I would in real life.
How is it possible to be racist against people who are of the same race as one’s self?
You are digging that hole again being deliberately obtuse as ever,.and making an utter fool of yourself with your ignorance 
.
There is only one thing that can be described a simple mate…you.
Are you against racism? In all it’s forms?
I will assume “yes”.
If I, as a white employer give my white employees a pay rise, but not my black ones…is that racism?
If I, as a black employer give my black employees a pay rise, but not my white ones…is that racism?
If I, as a white employer give my black employees a pay rise, but not my white ones…is that racism?
I say all 3 cases are clearly racist, (same situation, but colours changed) but in the 3rd case it is white discriminating against white.
What happens if you give the worthy worker a pay rise regardless of skin colour? Anyone with any sense would see that as fair and just. Anyone seeking to see something that isn’t there would see whatever scenario that they’re predisposed to see.
There is another possible example of intolerance along racial lines.
An individual sees someone from a perceived inferior race doing something they consider wrong.
Since they feel superior they accept it.
If they see someone of their own race acting the same way they dislioke that person. " Oh, my! He;'s gawn native".
That is born from a sense of superiority to the perceived inferiors and their ways.
Dislike for one’s own race from feelings of racial superiority. Racism.
You really ARE a smart arse know it all seriously mate.
Yep well you are a deranged deluded and brainwashed loony left socialist, and I am a average family man and working class member… but who despises you, your politics and your type.
So I am bound to be a member of the ‘Far right’ with the racist connotations…
Is that not what you lot (Starmer’s team of useful idiots) are told to think…and perpetuate?
Congratulations…
You are doing a sterling job, a shining example in fact.
Keep up the good work on Trucknet.
Agreed it is best to try to be colour blind.
Not to look at some and describe them as “white indigenous English” .
Why would one even type out those words if they were irrelevant?
They clearly are important to what is being said.
If colour and race are not the issue why mention them?
Say what? That makes no sense at all. Re read it I suggest.
As for the rest, you brought race into this party, not me. I’m very proud to be completely colour blind. I do find certain religious ideologies to be distasteful but that has zero to do with the skin colour of the person submitting to that particular creed. The only racism is that you seek to find.
So white English people are not indigenous?
A quick English lesson for the (not so) know it all.
Concentrate on paragraph 2 for a moment.
For example…
Black Aboriginal people are Australian indigenous.
Black Maori people are NZ indigenous.
Red (a recognised and accepted term neither accurate nor pc) Indians (Native Americans as they are called noe because of the loony left) are American indigenous.
Yellow (see above) Oriental people are indigenous to various Far East countries.
So because I had the gall to mention their colour as a recognised in traditional terms…that makes me racist right?
Pleeeeease say yes, I am enjoying seeing you make a complete prick of yourself…
What are you talking about?
White people are indigenous to England? Yes.
Never said or suggested otherwise.
What was important to your post, was singling out “white indigenous English” for special treatment.
You chose racial characteristics to define a group you especially dislike.
This discussion is because @robroy posted about having special feelings about “white indigenous English” people.
It may take a few hours! but it is all back there up the thread.
Oh ffs Franglais give it a rest will ya.
You are pi55ing against the wind after losing credibility completely on this, it has ran it’s course.
I have explained truthfully to everybody the direction I was coming from at that time , I have not got a racist bone in my body, and I am assumimg everybody on else here accepts that…why would they not.
And if they don’t so be it.
Your condescending and supercillious manner has backfired on you this time…
Stop now for your own well being…you have
become a laughing stock mate seriously.
Or.
Keep on digging…up to you …nobody cares anymore.
Nah, I’ll pass thanks here’s one for you to mull over though; for years when anyone has expressed contempt for EE folk coming to England and claiming benefits my counter has always been “most EE folk that I know work and pay into the system, don’t you think that we should be more upset about the white, indigenous scumbags who have no intentions of ever working and are content to milk the system?”
That’s my stock response. Does that make me racist?
You can sure as hell bet it does in The Idiot’s book.
