    What exactly was the point of writing such a short article?

    1. Reuters is first and foremost a wire service

    2. This statement is more important than most anything else Reuters will publish today.

    In conclusion, pull your head out of your ass.

      Noted. If this is what people expect (and/or want) from Reuters, then it’s none of my business how much they put in a single article. Have a nice day.

        @malijaffri Really, though. Reuters is and has always been a tiny bite of news wire service - - meaning that what they do is limited to snippets of pertinent information that could be easily transmitted over a telegraph wire in old timey days.

        They’ve stuck to that style since forever. The idea is to get the base of the story out quickly and succinctly, and honestly, how much more do you really require, here? It’s a pretty straightforward quote, with no written plans in place, but… Newsworthy.

        That’s what Reuters does.

        Yo, but seriously. If you like having your head in your ass, you should do it. Empower yourself and don’t let anyone yuck your yum.

          It can lead to quite severe back pain though, so it’s something you do in your youth and then you have to stop.
