We still cite Reuters quite a bit around here in posts, because sometimes we just want a straight-news source. But it’s getting more and more difficult to do that in good conscience with each passing day, because Reuters has effectively abandoned all pretense of being a straight-news source. Seriously, they’re approaching WaPo/NYT territory.
Like, get a load of this:

We are all confused math lady right now.
There are women in oil and gas —and those outside the industry who tangentially support it— who aren’t rabidly pro-abortion.
Abortion has NOTHING to do with energy security. Nor business. Stop making it so. https://t.co/hsFTlhCZP0

Who’s responsible for greenlighting this article? No, seriously. Who? Because whoever it is needs to be smacked upside the head.
This photo feels like a bad Lifetime movie. And the headline feels like a bad Slate pitch. https://t.co/aZQlSYmK12
