As far as I've been able to tell, usnewswire is a vanity-type publisher of any 'news release' anyone or any group wants to get published. Legitimate mainstream news organizations do not charge for news releases.

So, in light of the disclaimer at the bottom of the article,

"Paid for and authorized by the Democratic National Committee, http://www.democrats.org. This communication is not authorized by any candidate or candidate's committee."

one can only guess that usnewsire is in business to publish these type of propaganda pieces and charges the organizations a fee.

I wouldn't exactly call it news, or deem it worthy of being classified as news on FR.

It's something like a shopper ad for used furniture.

It's the talking points and as much news as many MSM articles.

I should have marked Press Release, as I did on the Pelosi release. Thanks.
