I have written thousands of press releases over the years, many through my automated press release service. I have also been writing a column for a major giftware magazine for over six years. My editor would never allow me to submit an article unless the source has been checked, and the counter opinions have been expressed. It's poor journalism and they could be sued for libel. Unfortunately the public often doesn't distinguish between accurate reporting and not. You can always justify your own position by quoting certain sources. And many PR folks do just that, which is why they are called spin doctors.
