Why not just reprint the press release?

Matt Bramanti calls our attention to this story by Chron reporter Todd Ackerman.

As Bramanti notes, a number of phrases in the reporting seem to be lifted from this press release with hardly any change (and no attribution).

It's not the first time that Ackerman has been caught engaging in really lazy journalism (whether you care to call it something else is your prerogative). Why does the Chronicle allow it to continue?
