Just gonna add here that Reuter's downgrading of the word "terrorist" to "extremist" is a load of BS.
Reuter's has zero credibility left after falsely reporting the Tel Aviv soccer fans attacking people in Amsterdam as a pogrom against Jews.
Absolute scum of the earth, if they said the sky was blue I wouldn't believe them.
This is kind of unrelated, but I lost trust in reuters when they did an “investigative piece” on a scientist claiming he was “harassed” by patients, which was basically a hit piece on an entire illness (everyone with it). The “harassment” in question was people asking for data to be released on a study that led to disability benefits being removed. Low and behold, once the data was released (after a multiyear court battle) it was found to be very manipulated and the study went down the trash. (Study was funded by the disability insurance obviously).
Reuters never reported on the fact a court found those allegations “harassment” were “without proof”, at best, “grossly exaggerated” and done “with malicious intentions”. Or the fact the reanlyses of the data used in that study came to the opposite conclusions.
if a wire service disseminates opinions they then get reported as facts.
They have a single job and stepping out of their lane makes them worse than useless.
Also, their webpages usually break Wayback machine archiving, so they can absolutely fuck off right down the memory hole imo
