No, that's not how an argument works. The burden of proof is on someone who contests the validity of what is the prevailing viewpoint, not on the person presenting the mainstream view.

When one "questions" something, they are the ones who have to disprove it, because the implication is that whatever is being questioned is already assumed to be true.

Well, if I went around claiming that the world was flat and abjured any responsibility for proving my claim but merely went around poking holes in arguments for why the world was round, I would be acting unreasonably. It would be the logic of conspiracy theorists- it is enough to claim that something is false to prove the alternative true.

If this is "unverified propaganda", why is it untrue, and what, then, is the truth?
