Re: Citation needed

My favourites are the circular "authority"s. An example posted on this site "destroying" an EU (Brexit) "myth" was a Guardian article which cited the BBC as its authority. The cited BBC article was almost a copy-paste job and cited the Guardian article as its authority.

You'd be surprised how common this is, especially in any virtue-meme area. Though typically more than one --accidentally hilarious-- step.
