There is now a general crisis of authority. Just recently I have learned one peculiar theory (from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mmlmxamw_k&fbclid=IwAR3A42D-jUmsST5llIw7LQDjf_pYN0sJ909WI01NLOjqwNgPuGjGyiK9X20 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mmlmxamw_k&fbclid=IwAR3A42D...). Some moon landing photos (and maybe films) are really fake. There are people who believe that this is a proof that the whole moon landing was just staged - it is kind of natural to think like that, but a more probable theory is that it just proofs that a press officer did not have good material and just used what was available. Traditional media are kind of not very strict with this - I even have some personal experience about that, but people have much more romantic view on it and treat each photo or other material as fact and true. With the internet we have more to reconcile. I don't think this is bad - maybe media just needs to change. With some time we'll adapt.
It is similar case with science, maybe it is not that perfect as we used to view it. It is very good at where the incentives are well aligned - but they are not always 'adequate': https://equilibriabook.com/inadequacy-and-modesty/ https://equilibriabook.com/inadequacy-and-modesty/
