It's perfectly possible for an assertion to be both: (1) promoted by crank, and (2) entirely substantiated on its own merits, independent of whatever crank might say about it.
One such example would be the ongoing fact of the genocide currently in reality (not "supposedly") underway against the Uyghur population in China.
that's true. However, when essentially all mainstream and government claims are based on said crank's claims, and in line with government interests, that is very suspicious.
> One such example would be the ongoing fact
To the best of our knowledge, that is a false statement. There is no genocide underway. You only have (1.), not (2.).
