3. US Newswire is a press release service.
It's not a news organization. They distribute (for a fee) press releases.

6. The problem lies in
the fact that they are paid by special interest groups to release reports the special interest groups author.

It's going to all be propaganda spewed forth by the biased authors.

They handle press releases from plenty of rep mouthpieces, too. http://www.usnewswire.com/newssources.html

You cite something from them as an actual journalists piece to anybody who understands the way this is done, and they'll just shake their head and walk away.
