One factor to consider is that in non-open societies, people are used to being fed lies, frequently blatant lies, by official sources. Thus we should expect people in those societies to be more skeptical of "official sources" and "official stories" more generally. Furthermore, if said source isn't their own government, they may feel more free to openly express this skepticism.
