It was pretty much the same as this one - just a different source.

Here's what Skinner says about sources in GD

LBN only permits reputable mainstream sources. GD does not have that limitation.

If a source is not reputable, people can reply (or send it to a jury) and explain why a source is not reputable. It all comes out in the discussion.

Having said that... if a source is a kooky conspiracy site or a hate site, then it might not be okay in GD either.

Your information was accurate and your source was not a kooky conspiracy site or a hate site.
