Lee Edwards is a highly respected historian and his credentials are impeccable. His article, sourced to The Daily Signal, must be restored.
1. Lee Edwards is a reliable
Lee Edwards is a eminent historian and expert on the US conservative movement. He has published 25 books and his work has been on the NY Times bestseller list. His work is a valuable addition to any article.
2. The Daily Signal is reliable
The Daily Signal is published by the Heritage Foundation, which is one of if not the most notable right leaning think tanks in the United States. Their reporting is considered reliable enough to be quoted by major news organizations including Fox News, [1] CBS, [2] Slate, [3] and Daily News. [4]
Some consider Daily Signal a biased source. The Reliable Sources policy explicitly states that "reliable sources are not required to be neutral, unbiased, or objective" and acknowledges that sometimes biased sources are superior to neutral sources. [5] Obviously, this is one of those instances.
Therefore, because of the high quality of the source, and since policy supports this source, it must be restored. – Lionel( talk) 07:50, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
WP:BIASED: "Editors should also consider whether the bias makes it appropriate to use in-text attribution to the source"
