When a newspaper lets its chief flack write "news," no one should be surprised that the news reads a lot like a press release. I especially like the last bit and think it should be used to wrap up all stories, e.g., "The Sun-Times proudly supports the police department" or "The Sun-Times proudly supports the Cubs and/or White Sox."
Jenny McCarthy promotes options for autism treatmentQuote:

On Memorial Day weekend, Jenny McCarthy will bring a little bit of L.A. glamor to her hometown, Chicago, for a cause that is close to her heart. The TV star’s philanthropic organization, Generation Rescue, and Autism One have paired up to offer a conference for parents to learn about new support and treatment methods for their children with autism.
McCarthy’s personal experience with her son’s autism diagnosis and treatment led her to become deeply involved in Generation Rescue, where she is the president. McCarthy will be a keynote speaker at the conference, which, for the second year in a row, is free for the entire weekend to ensure that families of all income levels can attend and learn more about treatment for their children with autism.
