Criticism should stand on its own. If the criticism is accurate its source is not terribly relevant. If you have disagreements with the criticism, focus on those and if you believe the source isn't worth your time, don't give it to them.
Criticism is issued with agendas, certainly, and understanding the biases of the critic is helpful but ignoring criticism because of where it originates is foolish at best because you might miss out on good ideas, and a tool for systematic oppression at worst.
