Seems like a reliable source?
Well, look at Breitbart, they refer to sources all the time and are wrong, and scarily enough their chairman is about to lead the Trump administration, but like the Independent they have a huge political bent.

I wouldn't trust anything from any of the Independent, Breitbart, the Daily Mail, etc., and even still not even if it was picked up by Postmedia. Wait to see if a reputable news organization picks it up, and then, I'd agree its troubling. Until then, don't trust it.

Edit: the reason I used the Toronto Sun article as a counterpoint is that while you might assume the largest english newspaper publisher in Canada can be counted on for the truth, they can't. They quote unreliable sources.
