Reality is almost every government organization, political group and private business does its best to control what the media says about them,their orginazation and product....they even hire specialists to train and control their staff to do so....practice what they say to the media with PR specialists, and agressively monitor every media outlet. So, should it be any surprise that scientists are concerned about what is said about them and their advice? Organizations even hand pick reporters and columinists to break their news...to give them an advantage...or to ensure their spin is captured. Even environmental, and non profit groups do what ever they can afford to spin their message to you.
