There is an old saying, “He who has the gold rules.”
If you do not think that this much investment buys you influence and squashes truth contrary to your opinion, you need to raise your confront of evil and educate yourself more on the way things work in large organisations where the individuals do not have a high level of confront and are not strongly ethical.
I am not saying that without verifying or confirming it, you should not trust a single word any of these organisations say, publish or print because of their funding… …I am just saying I wouldn’t.
