In the case of someone looking at “trusted sources” honesty is one of the criteria for subjective claims, but is not necessary for objective claims, since we all presumably have access to the same information. I suppose the need for trust comes in when we for some reason need to verify an information source that is not immediately available to us. In the case of the “echo chamber” mentioned by Miguel which concerns adopting opinions within an insular social network, those would fall within the normative-evaluative realm, and are a question of values about how the world should work.
