Naomi Bar-Yam points out that this is bad journalism, and it may even be a
violation of the code of ethics for journalists.  Don't know about the US
but here it is a BIG no-no for a journalist to confuse news with
advertising, and this sounds like a prime example.

I'm sure the beneficiary of the article, the AIM manufacturer, could afford
to buy an ad and as it seems the US doesn't abide by the no adverts part of
the WHO code, they probably would be sold one.  But why bother if you can
get a reporter to do the job for you, at no charge?  It is more effective as
well, because it carries the illusion of impartiality.  This one smells
ROTTEN.
