But there was a price to be paid. Disillusioned by the practice of journalism-for-hire and shell shocked by the information wars, the public lost all respect for the profession. Freedom of the press these days is more or less synonymous with journalistic corruption.

The result is a culture war waged by an ignorant public. Biased pseudo-journalism for hire undermines the very foundation of democracy.

To delve into those pages is to vanish beneath a weight of adjectival goo. You rarely encounter an objective assessment of a company or sector. This is fact-free journalism for hire.

And there is another expression that comes to mind - planted article (поръчкова статия)

The purpose of the planted article was to contribute to anti-China war hysteria in the US, and that role it fulfilled quite satisfactorily.

\"Commissioned journalism\" is another possibility:

Journalists and experts allege that there are frequent instances of “commissioned journalism,” when political and economic interest groups pay to discredit their opponents and competitors.

agree  Dessislava: I agree with commissioned journalism. It sounds more to the point.

agree  invguy: "Commissioned" го възприемам по-скоро като "по заявка" (касаещо конкретни проявления) - докато "for hire" си е баш "наемен", като типова характеристика, като "for sale"... и като "hired gun"... форма на съществуване, принципен статус на самия журналист.
