If it's true, does it really matter where it comes from?

The key being "if it's true". The only 2 sites I've found making these claims are pretty blatant right wing sites with a vested interest in talking shit about strikes. Beyond that the actual claims in the article are contrasting any spending the WGA has done over the last several years against the current spending needed for the strikes, as if it's some kind of gotcha that the WGA was gasp! spending money but is now ASKING for money! It's not exactly apples to apples even if all their unsourced claims are true.

Lol their source is the New York Post, a tabloid.

Quite the presumptuous "if" there, isn't it?

Does it matter if something is a fascist propaganda rag?
Yes it does.

Should people not ever legitimize fascism by linking to platforms that only exist to further fascism?
No they should not.

True. There's a reason why the Poisoning The Well fallacy is known as a fallacy.
