A reliable source is one that supports one's own point of view. An
unreliable source is one that supports the other person's point of view.

Ultimately it's up to the reader to decide whether a source is
reliable. While "source" is relatively objective, and answers the
question, "Where did this come from?" we can't say this about
"reliable". It is in the same category of weasel words as "notable".
