I get it but you could apply it to the post itself.

"Can you prove Wolf Blitzer isn't Israel's mouthpiece? Because somebody on the internet told me so!"

I don't see why asking for sources is mocked.

Because when provided with positive evidence of obvious bias, you demanded proof of a negative which is ranges from prohibitively difficult to impossible. This is not a valid form of reasoning. The inability to disprove something is not a valid reason to believe in it.

Let me put it another way, I don't converse with paedophiles so I'm going to need proof that you've never diddled kids before we can continue.
