Problem is that every scientist is paid by someone somewhere who has an agenda. A company might not directly say "you will publish these statements as scientific fact", but they'll make it known that people who don't publish results that make them look good end up spinning their wheels. So most aren't lying, they're being forced to adopt the slant that pays the rent.
