That's a valid and subtle point. It's compounded by the fact that the more heavyweight sources tend to be more restrained in their tone, and the more lightweight sources, more shrill and emotive.
NPOV as presently defined does not help us there: we are duty-bound to reflect the shrill voices in their shrillness, and the authoritative sources in their restraint.
I don't see this changing unless we can see our way clear to assigning more weight to authoritative sources, instead of the simple dichotomy of "not reliable"/"reliable", where everything on the "reliable" side is given equal weight, regardless of whether it is a gossip site or an authoritative scholarly biography.

No one is "obligated" to edit in a foolish way. Editorial judgment means use your OWN best judgment, and, if there are issues, discuss what weight to give various sources.
