The practice of the government preparing retports and or film and or video for news media release has been around since there has been a printing press...film and video. This is not nothing new. They have been shown in movie theaters prior to TV. Just review some of the old news reels shown in theaters...which was common practice prior to TV.
The press has always had the option of presenting goverment prepared reports or not to. Government prepared materials...by the Education Dept...Agriculture Dept...Transportation Dept...etc. has always been done and is in fact real news...just as real as any story prepared by individual media.
They are different than daily press releases made by the Administration/Departments...and in the case of the daily press releases of the Administration/Departments...some media run them some don't. That is called freedom of the press.
