The pilot community is always in a disadvantaged position when it comes to press releases.
The management controls the advertising purse-string, and unless the media wants this lucrative income goes to its competitor, it will always publish what the management wants Joe Public to know (to a certain extend) and will never put itself at loggerhead with the management.

This is extremely apparent so when the media is controlled by the government.
Think about it.
