... is what you are really talking about. It is really business interests controlling the invesitigation and disclosure of science that is the problem.
But you are right. Bad science is the result.
And it is a serious source of concern in many forms of science.
Even the science I work in (entomology).
It can get very frustrating for many scientists trying to get a pure research position in the public sector - it's just so difficult - and many necessarily take jobs in the private sector where they are essentially forced to tow the company line and makes sure that, no matter what, the company looks good at the end of the day.
I almost gave in to temption of a 'full benefits' private industry job myself when I was a post-doc, but I am glad I toughed it out. I just could never accept having to get the approval of some damned nitwit adminstrator before publishing my work.
Even now, ocassionally we test new insecticide products for companies like Dow and FMC. We give them a straight down assessment of their products back-to-back with others and with a control in return for some token funding. I know that they will only use the results IF their product looks good in the trial, but what can I do? They are paying for the research - I can't tell them what to do with the results they've paid for.
