A story vs a news release

Someone please tell me that this "story" from AP on al.com is actually a mislabeled News Release. Please? And if so, how does that happen?

  1. Astro turf... oh yeah!

    Plastic "grass"... that's what EVERY homeowner dreams of!

    No more lawnmower, no more watering, no more weed-n-feed, no more lush cool blades to run between your toes. Only a bunch of hot vinylized plastic morphing into a green blob of molten goo in your yard during the sweltering summer months.

    And that American "dream" can be yours for NO MONEY DOWN, 100% UNSECURED FINANCING!

  2. How sad. But I guess they could just cry "with staff cuts you'll see more like this", which, even more sad, is probably true of all news outlets.

    But not the AP. This has to be pure laziness.

  3. They even used an apostrophe incorrectly in the first sentence.
