"press release" strikes me as a "paid advertisement".

from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hudson_Institute

The Hudson Institute is a conservative U.S. think tank, founded in 1961 in Croton-on-Hudson, New York, by the futurist Herman Kahn and other colleagues from the RAND Corporation.

The Institute has taken positions critical of environmentalism. Dennis Avery, as Director of the Hudson's Center for Global Food Issues, has written in opposition to those who oppose the use of pesticides in food farming, and the adoption instead of organic agricultural methods.

The Hudson Institute is developing programs to propose the political and economic transformation of Muslim nations.

The Hudson Institute is supported by donations from companies and individuals. Corporate contributors include Monsanto, DuPont, Dow-Elanco, Sandoz, Ciba-Geigy, ConAgra, Cargill, and Procter & Gamble[1].
