At least they got "brake" right!

Similar and almost identical text has been used in other parts of the
press today. Makes you wonder who actually writes this crap and how
much they get paid for it.

You've only just started to spot that an awful lot of "news" is
nothing but regurgitated Press Releases? Quite often a verbatim, copy
'n paste job, sometimes few words altered and may be a bit of intro.

There *might* be a hint about a stories status depending if its from
a "reporter" or "correspondant, the latter having written it, the
former just reporting something.
