Credibility refers to whether the reader can trust and/or believed the information presented in a source. In general terms, credibility is linked to the reputation of the author, which implies if the author is an expert in the subject the source is more likely to be credible; also, credibility is related to the evidence that the author uses to support the ideas presented in the source and whether the author is biased, this implies the information is not objective but guide by the author personal prejudices, which makes it one-sided or lacking a neutral viewpoint and thus, information cannot be believed.

explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
