When I see things like that I always like to see what kind of website this is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Mayadeen
It is argumentum ad hominem. Imo, doesn't matter what site is it. If the site has a bad reputation just check sources twice but do not reject the article just because the site. That's how I see it.
Checking sources twice is something you should do from a news agency that is actually reputable. As in it trades on being honest and accurate.
You’re not obliged to read everything from an outlet that has no track record of honesty and integrity simply because you’ve been beaten around the head with the internet ‘logical fallacy’ meme one too many times.
Thinking that everything you read on the internet should be worth your time to fact check is the ultimate logical fallacy.
