You should read the submarine [0], a great article on why this happens that I found here on HN. TL;DR: writing news is hard and journalists are overworked and underpaid. Media firms for companies basically write these articles for journalists, and since they aren't technically false everybody wins (except the reader) because the news agency gets a lot of "news" and the companies get exactly the spin they want.
