I quote Marshall and TAPPED not infrequently, because they are journalists and observe professional standards, etc. I tend not to quote Cole, or even to read him, because while he is very well informed about the Middle East, much moreso than most who have opinions about it, he seems a little erratic and too far to the left for my tastes. He tends to read a lot of Arab media, which gives him a better sense than most of us about what's actually happening in the region.
I don't think Marshall (in particular) or TAPPED (to a significant degree) rely on Cole much, and they are not as far to the left as he is. I'm sure they all look the same when you're as far out to the right as Slave is.
