As well it should be? We've shown time and time again that the source of funding control a) whether or not results get published, e.g. 99 "bad results" don't ever get published but the 1 "good result" is, and b) the extent to which the design and execution of the study is biased towards a "good result". The pendulum has swung very wide in favor of controlling interests, in fact I would argue that a large portion of the "anti-science" sentiment we are seeing is due to the perceived rigging of the scientific landscape. I say perceived here because even if 95% of science produced today is good the ones that directly affect the public and garner headlines are going to be related directly to a corporate interest, e.g. pharma, chemical companies etc. Also of note, guess who doctored the results about vaccines and autism? A credentialed scientist, obviously retracted at this point but I would put it to you that the very fact that this got published represents to the laity that there is a fundamental problem in science today. Science was the belle of the ball in the early/mid 20th century, then had the benefit of the doubt as the century ended but now clearly has a public reputation problem. Getting money(the wrong kind) out of science is just as important as getting money out of politics, you should not trust the result of an article paid for by Monsanto anymore than you should trust the politician that they have bought as well.
