Of course, journalists deny this on a regular basis.

Yes. Many journalists do not write their stories. They take a press release that a PR person gave them and put in the newspaper word-for-word what the PR person wrote up. The only difference is that the journalist's name goes on the article instead of the PR person. I've had a great many of my press releases turned into articles in Atlanta-area papers.
