Investigative Reporting

I am very suspect of the integrity of most magazines' investigative reporting because they are being paid a lot of money by companies who have far too many skeletons in their closets. To wit the pharmaceutical companies that pay for all the "bi-polar" adds in US News and World Report. Do you really expect this magazine to ever to a truthful expose of the way drug trials are fudged and how patients with negative reactions are discontinued from the trials and so not included in the findings?
