So what? Who cares. The content is what matters.
Sources matter. When you read something from Wikipedia, for example, you should take into account that it's something from Wikipedia.
You might deny that the source matters but this would be incorrect from a Quranic standpoint. Quranically, the source matters:
O you who have believed, if there comes to you a disobedient one with information, investigate, lest you harm a people out of ignorance and become, over what you have done, regretful.
-Surah Al-Hujurat 49:6
Quranically, you should consider the source.
According to the tafsir of Ibn Kathir regarding the verse:
"Allah the Exalted ordered investigating the news that sinners bring, to make sure of its authenticity. Otherwise, if the sinner's word is taken for granted and a decision is based on it, regardless of whether the information is true or not, the authorities will be taking the lead of the sinners. Allah the Exalted and Most Honored forbade taking the path of the corrupted and sinners."
Quranically, the source matters.
