It's irrational to judge the wisdom of what's being said based on who is saying it. This type of rhetoric is designed to poison the well rather than encourage critical thinking. "The media" is not a monolith, "the authorities" are not a monolith, and neither are the purveyors of "alternative views" who also exist within those institutions.
