It's now that poorer, less powerful, were caught. I'm sure it's been caught before, but buried.

Is that supposed to be better or worse? If it gets buried you don't even know that the data has been manipulated when using it for other purposes.

Also, the oil and tobacco companies have certainly been caught manipulating scientific results on multiple occasions.

I think it's a good thing that more people are aware that it is a possibility. It was a possibility before, but people would just say "we don't have evidence this has ever occurred"
