>Expert X on subject A says R
>Expert Y on Subject A says !R
>Media and the government, made up of people who are not experts on Subject A, say believe R or else!
>Expert Y attacked and silenced by media and government
>Get suspicious that R might not be the whole truth about Subject A
>Get attacked by the media, government and their followers for not "trusting the experts"
>Conclude that Expert X, the government, and media are hiding something and shouldn't be trusted
Which doesn't necessarily mean that !R is completely or even partially correct but it does mean that in such a situation, trusting "the experts" blessed by the media and government isn't logical.
