So as long as journalist are interested and willing to print half truths as facts… Yes we should question the source.

Kutcher has invested in Uber through his venture capital firm, A-Grade.
In addition to Uber, Kutcher invested in and co-founded a viral content website, A+, that has itself been accused of questionable practices. A Daily Dot investigation found A+ republished material from a range of websites like Buzzfeed and the Huffington Post without credit.
