In the Center for Media and Democracy's report on the use of [[video news releases-- - Fake TV News: Widespread and Undisclosed - Dan Price noted:


 * "on June 10, 2005, KTXL-40 (Sacramento, CA) ran a 90-second news segment on a new dental technique that can test a person for potential diseases through their own saliva samples. After a quick intro, anchor Shana Franklin tossed the story to FOX News Channel's Julie Banderas, who "shows us how regular visits to the dentist's office could one day be a thing of the past." Unfortunately the story came straight from the mouths of dentists themselves. The KTXL-40 story was built almost exclusively from a video news release (VNR) that was created by MultiVu on behalf of the American Dental Association (ADA).
