medium · LSAT Logical Reasoning

Reliable news sources are trustworthy, because they consistently supply information that can be relied upon.

The reasoning in the argument is flawed in that it:

  1. offers as support for its conclusion a claim that merely says the same thing in different words
  2. fails to specify with any precision what should count as a 'news source' in today's media landscape
  3. takes for granted, without argument, that every source that is trustworthy is also a reliable one
  4. rests on an unstated analogy between news sources and other quite different information providers
  5. presumes, against clear counterexamples, that reliability is the sole quality relevant to trust
