consider the source
another way of saying that any information recieved from a certain source can't be taken seriously because that source has been wrong before, or lacks credibility.
"hey did you hear Elvis is still alive?? he was seen at a casino in vegas last week! actually they say he's even the owner!!"
"get out! where'd you hear that from?"
"oh I read it in the enquirer."
"hah! I should have known."
"what, you mean you don't believe it??"
"are you kidding?? I mean, come on...consider the source already!"
