No, reputability or trustworthiness should not be determined solely by a person or a group with large amounts of influence. Reputability or trustworthiness should be established through a process of evaluation that takes into account multiple factors such as accuracy, transparency, accountability, and objectivity of the source being evaluated. It's also important to note that just because a source is considered reputable by some does not necessarily mean that everything it produces is true, and conversely, just because a source is considered disreputable by some, does not mean that everything it produces is false. Ultimately, evaluating the credibility of a source requires a thoughtful and critical analysis that takes into account multiple viewpoints and considerations.
