It is that bad (imo), unless it's clearly stated that it's a paid advertisement (that's what PR is), then you cannot trust your news source.

But it’s not a paid advertisement. It’s a corporate blog post published to an RSS feed for journalists to do with as they please.

It’s worse than a paid advertisement because news orgs are running it for free and doing absolutely nothing novel or critical with it.

Their not paying for it? That doesn't seem right.
