Very true, and in fact I had "almost entirely" there for a brief moment. Although I'd like to offer the counter-argument that journalists should be listing known agendas and funding sources that may create biases when reporting on these stories. That's their job. I know it's an idealist pipe-dream, but to me a journalist's highest calling is reporting on corruption and corporate shenanigans exactly like that. So yes, this is more of a shared problem, but the media has let us down here, too.

"journalist's highest calling is reporting on corruption and corporate shenanigans" I agree, but that ship has sailed a while ago :-( Traditional, corrupt and/or click-baity journalism is slowly being replaced by guerilla news sites (such as Drudge, ZeroHedge, etc.), but I am not aware community-driven scientific paper review sites (i have not been looking much, though)
