      Most reputable news orgs (of which Reuters is up there as one of the best) would not be reporting unless they were confident their sources are telling the truth. The sources may not be named because as a journalist at times you can’t betray your sources trust in confidentiality

        Reuters is a corporate news organization, and much like AP and AFP, they only tell you what they want you to know. Their mantra is; “We don’t simply report the news, we influence they people feel about it.” A Reuters employee who does not want to be named told me.
