I think questioning someone's integrity because they quoted someone you don't like is an extreme position. Frankly I don't care about the ideological bent of sources so long as the information they provide can be confirmed/corroborated. In this case, it can.

Guido's quoted the tweets on the page there - yeah, the guy's a tosser, but info is info regardless of your ideological bent. And questioning people's credibility because you disapprove of the politics of someone they quote is, well, a bit extreme. But what would I know, I'm just a lowly journalist.
Hugs all round?
