They're a non-profit, so there's probably nobody raking in particularly large sums of cash from their shady or sloppy ratings, but it would be daft to rely on them.
Unfortunately, "non-profit" doesn't really rule out financial corruption. And financial corruption isn't necessary for organizations to act this way--the natural tendency of any organization or institution to perpetuate its own existence is probably enough.
