The corruption lies not in blatant fabrication, but in intentional misrepresentation of available data. The media is 'used' as a tool to proliferate this ruse. The GW scientitians use this median with much greater effectiveness than any corporate spinster

Precisely my feeling, blatant fabrication of data is not a major issue and I haven't claimed that it is. I rate deliberate misinterpretation of data as the greatest issue. The media does all sorts of things and lacks the understanding to be used reliably in this way, it is dangerous nonetheless because of its lack of comprehension. I am yet to meet a 'scientitian' but maybe they are corruptive masterminds, who knows? You have no evidence to support the assumption that scientists are lying to us to achieve some outlandish goal. The media does what it thinks will make it money, this makes it a poor medium for any scientist no matter what their intentions might be.
I am unaware of a perceived integrity of these organisations, what I do see is a misconceived perception of a lack of integrity. People doubt because they see science as unreliable due to the creative freedom scientists grant the media with respect to their research.

I fear that the next step in this is a push towards legislation outlawing opposition to the prevailing view.point..I have heard it proposed. Given the alarming centralized control wielded in scientific circles, the ingredients are present for an elite few to control what we hear, believe and are able to discuss. At the moment they have the lion by the tail. I am just suggesting the we break free of the grip and pounce.

I fear that conspiracy theorists and environmentalists have a lot more in common than I thought. Science is not about controlling opinion, it is about allowing opinions to wander and change in response to evidence. People seem to fear what they don't understand, my point here is that we should improve their understanding to remove their fear.
