...because that goes for ALL literature, and indeed, all media. If you want to argue that the Constitution gives you the right to kick puppies, you'd better cite something Constitutional to back it up. If you want to argue that Mark Twain was a racist, you'd better cite something in Huckleberry Finn or another one of his writings to back it up. If you want to argue that Jon Stewart actually wanted Bush to be reelected, you'd better find something in the archive of his television appearances to to back that up.
It's one of the most basic principles of argumentation: he who asserts must prove (or she, of course).
And if you want to argue any of the above premises...good luck.
