In my opinion, healthy skepticism and critical thinking naturally leads one to a pro-establishment point of view.
While I'm open to the possibility that the establishment (and by that I mean, mainstream science) is not always right, I do think that they always have a better chance of being right than those outside of the establishment. I've met a number of people who call themselves skeptics but believe that mainstream science is biased in all kinds of ways, and I generally think these people just do not understand the issues very well.
