Yeah, I submitted a story form the New Yorker by James Suroweicki (prob one of their best authors in my opinion) last week on the sugar industry getting caught red handed trying to push the fat = obesity narrative and it got zero traction:

"In any case, claims that the sugar industry sponsored one study back in the 1960s, and this means everything we’ve ever thought is wrong and biased against fat and in favor of sugar, miss the point (especially since there are probably problems with both sugar and fat). Whatever study the New York Times has dredged up was one volley in an eternal clandestine war of Big Fat against Big Sugar, and figuring out who’s distorted the science more is the sort of project that’s going to take more than one article."

(Suroweicki and Gladwell are two of favorite authors on their staff right now.)
