Use of pollbludger

I'm inclined to agree with the anon editor. If something is not carried in mainstream news sources but is carried by pollbludger, I think we need to tread very cautiously. In this case, pollbludger himself is only speculating, writing "Those who read between the lines could surmise that he (Joan's husband Steele Hall) blamed the episode on the federal member for Sturt, Christopher Pyne, a powerful moderate." We should directly qualify it (as in changing "was seen as machinations" to "was seen by pollbludger as machinations") or delete it. Peter Ballard 02:03, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
