Reuters has repeatedly been accused of showing an anti-Israel and anti-American bias.

It was founded by the German Paul Julius Reuter. Reuter was born Israel Beer Josaphat; his father was a rabbi. He converted to Christianity and changed his name).

He fled Germany after the failed Revolution of 1848. Among the demands of the demonstrators was arming of the people. Turned his back on both his heritage as a Jew and the people with whom he protested. Nice guy. 160 years later the organization remains unchanged.

Nice post(#33) - are you a history professor? Possibly, you might be the one non-Marxist professor of journalism rumor has been whispering about for the last several years?
