Churnalism.com is a web site offering tools to help find rehashed press releases in the British Press.
We see this a lot. A good indication that an article is simply a rehashed press release with misspellings and inaccuracies introduced is finding "AP" on the byline. Or "New York Times" in pretty much any story about Iraq.
And occasionally it'll be blatant enough that I feel compelled to go find the original. The first that comes to mind is the Nemo vs the Muffin Monster story.
