Reuters - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org

Reuters is a news agency headquartered in London, but they report on news around the globe. Often other news just recite Reuters news instead of traveling the world themself. How trustworthy and unbiased you think they are?

    @glowing_hans Very, the entire business model of them and the other agencies is to provide the basic facts for their customer newspapers to apply their own spin and bias to.

      So you trust them very much? So you think the controversey section on wikipedia is fake?

      An investigation by The Intercept, The Nation, and DeSmog found that Reuters is one of the leading media outlets that publishes advertising for the fossil fuel industry.[76] Journalists who cover climate change for Reuters are concerned that conflicts of interest with the companies and industries that caused climate change and obstructed action will reduce the credibility of their reporting on climate change and cause readers to downplay the climate crisis.[76]

        @glowing_hans That boils down to the problem of making advertising blend in with real articles, rather than any bias within those. Still a big issue, but not to point of discrediting everything else.
