A critique of local news "packages" identifies them as likely video press releases designed to look like organic reporting. A specific segment from a Tampa Bay station is examined, which features a mother advocating for microchipping children to prevent them from getting lost. The reporting uses movie clips and infrared footage to heighten parental anxiety.

An Iowa teacher, John Cisna, reportedly lost 40 pounds by eating only McDonald's for 90 days while following a 2,000-calorie limit. The hosts identify the story as a likely video press release (VPR) produced by McDonald's to counter the negative publicity from documentaries like "Super Size Me."

A human interest story about a seven-year-old boy named Jack organizing "snack packs" for troops in Afghanistan is identified as a likely pre-packaged PR campaign. The report, aired by Alan Sanchez on Good Day Sacramento, features the child in military-style clothing. The hosts suggest the story is a "feel-good" setup designed to promote specific brands like Slim Jim and Gatorade.
