From the article: The US government and the mass media selectively promote research that is favorable to the fish oil industry.

I find this unlikely. The fish oil industry is not a giant industry on the order of the corn industry, or the beef industry. It just doesn't have the size necessary for that kind of pull.

That said, it's good to read some skepticism about the utility of fish oil. As with many possible substances, there are trade-offs.
