Read the following paragraph.Manny is writing a paper about whether violence in video games makes kids more violent. He found a news article about violence in video games on a national news organization’s .com website. The article seemed to be objective and the news organization is well known. On the website, readers are allowed to post comments about the article. One reader posted a comment with a lot of information that she claimed proved that violent video games do not make kids more violent. Manny thinks that the information in this reader’s comment might be helpful in his paper.
Answer
A
The reader’s comment is a credible source because it was posted in response to an objective article.
B
The reader’s comment is a credible source because it was posted on a trusted website.
C
The reader’s comment is not a credible source because nothing is known about the person who wrote the comment.
D
The reader’s comment is not a credible source because the website it was found on is not credible.
Explanation
A trustworthy news organization and an objective article do not automatically make every reader comment reliable. Manny does not know who wrote the comment or whether that person has relevant expertise or evidence to support the claims. So the comment is not a credible source just because it appears on a well-known website.
