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