Accurate references

Can "Slate" really be considered an accurate reference?

Although the Washington Post is considered credible, being a newspaper of record, does its "witty", "editorial", and self-proclaimed "commentary" internet-circulated counterpart, funded by advertising revenues, count as a credible source? Misplaced Pages is not the venue for unproven opinions to be expressed as fact.

I submit the recommendation that the reference be removed and the article be rewritten, if need be, or otherwise improved to reflect objectivity and the subject matter. I will remove the reference and make a note to view the talk page, in the edit comments. If the page is reverted, hopefully someone will stumble upon this discussion.

As per slate website:

Slate is a daily magazine on the Web. Founded in 1996, we are a general-interest publication offering analysis and commentary about politics, news, and culture. Slate's strong editorial voice and witty take on current events have been recognized with numerous awards, including the National Magazine Award for General Excellence Online. The site, which is owned by The Washington Post Company, does not charge for access and is supported by advertising revenues.
