They gain their status of being "trusted sources" through various ways and they remain "trusted sources" until they give you reason not to trust them.
That is how most people think.
I don't need to be in Lebanon to know that a war is raging. I don't need to be sitting in on a UN meeting to know that people are getting pretty pissed. I don't need to be sitting in on a dinner between the Israeli big shots to know that the war isn't going to be over this week.

Sure, sure, I understand what you're saying. You may be right, I may be more passionate about this particular event because of where I live, and because I know people directly affect. But I really think that this is a special situation. I'm not the kind of guy who thinks that everything on TV is some zionist or Catholic conspiracy or whatever.
Our government has used this event to lead us into 2 wars, plus a proxy war. And we all know, even if only in the back of our minds, that this is probably only the beggining. It's not just any run of the mill world event. It's probably the most serious thing that will happen in our lifetimes. I just think that we shouldn't be expected to blindly accept the government's word about who is involved. We the people, the victims of this crime, should be shown the evidence. Either in a courtroom setting, or some other reasonable form of investigation. This is one of the few crimes in the US that has not been investigated, and that worries me.
