  • Interesting links and context. They have previously been accused of bias for not using the word “terrorist”, so I’m surprised they have even used the word “genocide” at all frankly.

    It’s also interesting to read in their wiki controversies section that they have been accused of bias against Israel previously.

    I’m on the fence. I’m of the belief that true journalism should be simple reporting on facts, which is what I see. Refusing to condemn a side, or to condemn actions is an odd thing to call bias. Surely declaring anything like that, however righteous it may be, is bias itself.







  • I see the initial headline is problematic, but I also believe it would have been factual if they’d just put quotation marks around “Hamas camera”, as it is an article reporting on the Israeli quote (at least initially). There are a bunch of other articles on this topic citing other sides and an obituary for the cameraman, so I’m still not convinced Reuters as a whole is compromised.

    But, yeah, it’s super weird to completely re-write an article instead of just publishing a new one. And I also don’t know about their history with this type of thing, as you mentioned.
