Suggest you check CSIRO's funding model - it does have to source external funds
Legal disclaimers help the legal angle but do not help the perception angle - who has been exactly (and within context) quoted by a reporter (consistently)? Especially when said reporter has their own agenda - the sale of newspapers/media space.
One can still speak out, there are venues and means as well as journals (noting they also have the potential, as with all things, to have their own biases) but be prepared to wear the consequences.
In other words, this is the real world there is no pure absolute place for clean rational argument yet we bumble along and eventually resolve things in a mostly forward direction. Yes there are inbuilt delay loops (some really large ones at times) and the potential to miss opportunities or important time critical things.
