I'd like to know whether it's worth the effort - in other words, is it OK to link an attack blog if it is mentioned elsewhere, albeit as a bit of local colour in the election coverage? I note that the blog is not linked from the Times article from which the text is sourced.
The defaults are that blogs are not reliable sources, and that we do not link to attack sites. You need to justify your characterisation of the blog as 'attack site'. The other party needs to justify this site as a reliable source. It is conceivable that both of you have adequate warrant for these claims.
Selectively linking to partisan sources is possible under policy, but naturally a 'shield' of NPOV must be present in the article.
