Random Thoughts or Whatever

Scientists and reporters have mortgages and car payments. They must please their employers to maintain their jobs and lifestyles. Employers must make profits, or else they will go out of business.

Thus, one can expect conditions like this to arise regularly. (to use a slightly finer brush).

Confronted by compelling peer-reviewed scientific evidence of the harms of smoking, the tobacco industry, beginning in the 1950s, used sophisticated public relations approaches to undermine and distort the emerging science.
The industry campaign worked to create a scientific controversy through a program that depended on the creation of industry–academic conflicts of interest. This strategy of producing scientific uncertainty undercut public health efforts and regulatory interventions designed to reduce the harms of smoking.
A number of industries have subsequently followed this approach to disrupting normative science. Claims of scientific uncertainty and lack of proof also lead to the assertion of individual responsibility for industrially produced health risks.

Nobody ever said all corporations had scruples...many as measured by their general behaviour, would score as sociopathic psychiatrically. As it happens, you picked the lowest hanging fruit. Not very illuminating at all.
 
...anyone that thinks that was a serious request oughta lighten up...I don't even know what a curriculum vitae is...I did however hear the term mentioned while recently attending a meeting of The Loyal Order of Water Buffalos...
