There seem to be two modes here. There's an objective fact-checking mode, and a personal network of trust mode.
This becomes a problem when the personal network is made of people who rely on hearsay, and signals-of-belonging instead of evidence-based information.
It's also a problem when "official" experts aren't truly expert, for various possible reasons - including corruption, incompetence, deliberate bad faith, and others.
It's hard for people who think in one way to understand that others don't think in the same ways.
