Reuters
From iGeek
Reuters isn't usually quite as biased and partisan as the AP is, but that's a bar that a drunk could trip over.

- Beto Hacker Story - We learned that Beto was a hacker in a group called, "Cult of the Dead Cow", had written many misogynistic posts, and had even dabbled in child homicide fantasy fiction. Reuters not only knew of it, and its News value, for 2 years, they squashed the story so it wouldn't interfere with his Senate run against Cruz (which he lost anyways).
- Child Detentions (2019) - AFP and Reuters reported, according to the UN the U.S. had "the world’s highest rate of children in detention.” Then they found out the article was from the 2015 Obama era, and the numbers had gone down under Trump. Instead of correcting/reporting, they pulled the story and whitewashed history to keep from Obama looking bad and Trump from looking better.
- Photo of migrant mom pleading (2019) - Reuters or CBS headling, "Guatemalan mother begging soldier to let her enter U.S.". 9 paragraphs in it mentions that the National Guard wasn't stopping them, his job was to stop drugs and people traffickers. He was just warning them about the dangers of crossing illegally and was trying to convince the woman not to cross illegally and put herself and her child in danger.
- Reuters Datascientist fired for anti-BLM - Zac Kriegman (Director of Data science) did an investigation of BLM data and documented the fraud, so was fired for the temerity, to tell the truth in a progressive company. "I Criticized BLM. Then I Was Fired. The data about police shootings just didn't add up, but no one at Thomson Reuters wanted to hear it."
- San Diego BLM assault (2016) - A SDSU student (Feras Jabro) was doing citizen journalism in El Cajon, where protests were happening over the shooting of Alfred Olango. Feras was filming day-2 of the BlackLivesMatters protests and asking questions, and was beaten, kicked, and had bottles thrown at him while he fled the scene. Another cameraman was mugged. CBS News and Reuters reported it as peaceful protest.
- Things can always get worse - The Jerusalem Post ran a joke about a guy flicking a cigarette into the toilet that his wife had put flamable incecticide in, blew himself off the pot, and the paramentics laughed so hard hearing the story, that they dropped the stretcher and broke his ribs/pelvis. 10 years later UPI/Reuters reran the story as News (without fact checking it).
- Trump contributed to newspaper shooting (2018) - Rob Cox of Reuters was tweeting in response to the Capital Gazette shooter (Jarrod Ramos), and said, "this is what happens when [Trump] calls journalists the enemy of the people". Only the gay black man shooter had sued the newspaper for defamation in 2012 and lost in 2015, and was doing it over that, and it had nothing to do with Trump.
