gets cited in the article to back up that "fact".
A reliable source doing that is not reliable anymore, i.e. this source
is not suitable as a reference for Wikipedia.
People do tend to remove these sort of loops, but only once they've
found out they exist. If the reporter doesn't mention where they got
the information, then it can be tricky...
