ELI5: How can Wikileaks be a trusted source without confirmed sources and unverifiable documents?

With the recent events from wiki leaks, I cant help but ask, Why should the people trust them?

They leak mostly emails. Emails contain a mechanism called DKIM which basically inserts code into the email when it is first sent. With this code you can 100 percent verify if they were tampered with and the source. 

Using said method you can easily see all emails released by wiki leaks are verified. The site has never released an email that was not. 

Unfortunately, wiki leaks is more accurate and trustworthy than MSM. 

This only goes for emails. Everything else would need Authentication using other methods.
