That's still quite a small group of science media websites - I'm still guessing there's another group of websites that don't set off your 'credibility' alarms, but don't have many scientists on board.
Success and failure at stopping bad press is all relative. Perhaps action and awareness of trans-fats would occurred over much smaller timeframes without the influence of companies who profit from it. Perhaps they never would have been sold as healthy in the first place?
Don't forget, if these companies have been really successful at suppressing bad press, we wouldn't know about it.
Monsanto's success is also relative - they seem to be doing quite well. And as this article demonstrates people objecting to GMO do often get instantly branded as anti-science.
Perhaps the obvious example of wildly successful corporate influence on media and public opinion is global warming.
