That seems a bit circular to me. Of course you distrust someone you think is lying to you or manipulating you. That is what distrust means isn't it? The question is why you think you are being lied to or manipulated to begin with.

We need experts who put reason and data before political agendas and they need to be able to say "I don't know" instead of lying.
