It has nothing to do with placing faith in the media. It is about looking at the evidence and trusting the source of the evidence.
If the moderators on MR say that they have logs pointing to the users posting from an Ectaco IP address, I can say that I have a fair amount of trust in the type of evidence and trust that the moderators of MR are not deliberately misleading us.
If someone says that someone from Ectaco must be reverting the Wikipedia and writing inflamatory messages because the nature of the modifications are suspect, I'm asking: where's the concrete evidence? I don't care if it's a so-called reputable source or an independent blog making the claim, because suspicious actions and probable motive doesn't actually prove anything.
