Reuters Group plc (LSE: RTR and NASDAQ: RTRSY) is best known as a news service that provides reports from around the world to newspapers and broadcasters. However, news reporting accounts for less than 10% of the company's income. Its main focus is on supplying the financial markets with information and trading products. These include market data, such as share prices and currency rates, research and analytics, as well as trading systems that allow dealers to buy and sell such things as currencies and shares on a computer screen instead of by telephone or on a trading floor like that of the New York Stock Exchange. Competitors include Bloomberg L.P. and Dow Jones Newswires.

If Reuters is best Known for it's news coverage, but that only accounts for 10 percent of their company's income.....Is it possible that Reuters is slanting their news to influence financial markets.

Investigating them would put the media on notice, that it's actions were not going get the usual free pass any longer. It would allow the merits of the case against the MSM to be aired in public. That probably wouldn't be a bad thing.
It'll never happen. IMO

Public opinion is the moderating body in this case. If they lose trust they lose readers.

Should Reuters be investigated? With all certainty. Just like with CBS, Reuters should be called on the carpet along with the islamic journalist and made to answer the lies Reuters is perpetrating upon the public consciousness.

Every single crew and reporter in Lebanon from every foreign source was under the direct control of Hez-Ebola and weere probably threatened to show only their side.

I think Reuters under UN resolution 1559 was supposed to disband.
