FYI, PRNewswire is one of the oldest, respected, and expensive newswire services around. Businesswire is also very well established. Not sure how those seem “suspicious”.

Not sure if that was meant to be sarcastic. They have a pretty clear history of accepting garbage for money. https://www.seroundtable.com/google-panda-pr-newswire-change...

PRNewswire is used by the vast majority of the Fortune 1000, including for releases that are required for SEC compliance. They are probably the oldest and most widely used of all the newswire services.

The point is that using PRNewswire or Businesswire is hardly “suspicious,” because most businesses that do press releases use one or the other.
