Sometimes I’ll just be like ‘you’re not a high school social studies teacher, you don’t need a works cited page. Either believe it or not.’ Other times I’ll point out their pattern of behavior and argument strategy before they even get to the final stage, where they say since it didn’t come from a reputable source it doesn’t count. They don’t seem to grasp all of their beliefs are being influenced by propaganda sources so of course any real news will seem strange to them. They’re interesting creatures.

Please provide reputable source(s) for your claims.
Seriously though, it shouldn't be too big ask to proove you aren't either bullshitting or regurgitating bullshit. The problem is that in recent years the "reputable sources" have gone off the rails, lying so often they contradict themselves. Maybe try pointing out the contradictions instead?
