I totally agree with your premise of the content.

However, imo content without context is only half the picture in this day and age I want to know the source of where content is coming from, especially on this topic.

I felt it relevant to share what I learned about this source upon inspecting the content, that is all.

I do not intend to generalize this content as wrong, controversial or untrustworthy per se. I hope the context allows readers to more accurately form their opinion from the content.

But isn't that exactly what poisoning the well is?
Yup. This kind of thinking is prevalent in politics where leftists disregard right-wind media and vice versa. Both sides have good points worth considering, but they are simply disregarded due to being "the viewpoint of the wrong/evil/whatever side". That's what the political divide is all about, as I see it.
