Certainly in the popular/public/news media there is spin and trickery etc. But there have been very few cases of outright bias or fraud in the peer-reviewed journals and the few times it has happened it has been revealed and dealt swiftly.

Didn't some British organisation recently admit to massaging results, including flawed data or omitting good data they didn't like, defrauding the peer review process and a bunch of other questionable things with regards to climate change science?
