Ms. Landman, One additional — albeit highly salient — point. You also willfully omitted from your article the fact that Jack O'Dwyer is a member of the PRWatch staff, as outlined on this page: https://www.prwatch.org/staff-profiles. You, yourself, may want to visit the Society of Professional Journalists website (www.spj.org) and study its Code of Ethics (http://www.spj.org/ethicscode.asp). It states very clearly that journalists should "act independently," "free of obligation to any interest other than the public's right to know" and "avoid conflicts of interest, real or perceived."
