This is a page out of the conspiracy playbook. We commonly weigh material for bias with no evidence or reasonable justification. A paper confirming climate change seems more credible if it was funded by Exxon than if it were paid for by Green Peace.
This generates exactly the kind of "just so" reasoning that underpins all of conspiracy theory. It literally the belief that powerful forces are manipulating everything from the shadows.
