> I trust honest people

How can we know any given person is honest? We can only see their public reputations, not the things they do behind closed doors. The more power they have, the harder it becomes to remain honest. Any system that depends on the honesty of the humans involved is doomed to corruption from day one.

Especially when that person's salary / bonus is tied to the suppression of negative information.

Well, not being troll-y, that would, by definition compromise their honesty. That is, if they are that biased by that influence then they should not be considered honest.

Actions speak louder than words, and all that stuff.
