They're a creation of bad government policy. Rate their opinions accordingly.

Nonetheless, had the CRAs diverged much from what was very much "received wisdom" on part of regulators, banks, university finance departments etc., they'd be ignored or worse, laughed out of the room. You can see this now even, where there is a phalanx of talking heads ready to play up even the most tepid of news and play down any sign of distress in markets. Especially the Chinese stock market meltdown.
