Journalism is when a story is put out that is researched. Copying press releases into newspapers is generally only accepted practice when it publishes company announcements of undisputed facts, like the announcement of mergers, new production sites, projects, etc.
The situation here is different as Rex are making it a habit to put out opinion pieces (if they weren't would they be discussed at length here??) and the journos are printing them unchecked and without any balance in the argument. Hence an issue for people here and media watch.
If anyone could just go around publishing any BS as journalisms we wouldn't need actual journalists, would we now?
