    Way back when, I used to have this job where I got to be the one who operated the fax machine. I faxed press releases and boy, was I surprised to see them in the newspaper the next day. They'd also cut parts out or add their own words. WTF.

    The telephone number on the press release was on my desk. Nobody ever called it to verify that the press releases were real. Not even once.
