      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.

        Another major lie spread by Reuters for which Reuters is being sued is when they bought a video from a Dutch journalist showing Maccabi supporters beating up a Dutch person. Reuters put in the subtitle that it was Dutch people beating up a Maccabi supporter to spread the “pogrom” narrative.

        Reuters was contacted and made aware of this fact but refused to change their knowingly false headline because they had a Zionist narrative which they were ordered to spread. Reuters then once again retroactively “corrected” themselves very long time after the damage was done.

        This stuff has happened so many times already. It is not an accident. Reuters does this on purpose. It usually tells the truth, but when the boss calls with a false narrative they will directly abandon all journalistic integrity and spread that propaganda.
