In recent years, scientists who work for and advise the federal government have seen their work manipulated, suppressed, distorted, while agencies have systematically limited public and policy maker access to critical scientific information. To document this abuse, the Union of Concerned Scientists has created the A to Z Guide to Political Interference in Science.

Control over releasing reports, choosing topics and issues for research, spinning results, mixing politics, ideology and science etc. have all gone on for years at the federal level. It seems worse now than it has been in the past but that is debatable just as global warming is debatable :-)
