June 22 (Reuters) - Reuters denied on Saturday that it had reported that Israel would attack Lebanon within 48 hours, after reports circulated on social media citing the news agency as saying this.
"Any claims that Reuters reported that Israel will attack Lebanon within the next 48 hours are false. Reuters did not report this," a Reuters spokesperson said.

Reuters and AP News are really the only two sources I pretty much implicitly trust anymore. As far as I'm concerned, the person reporting false news and attributing it to Reuters should be hung by the neck until dead.
What's really frustrating is how many American news outlets are just taking AP and Reuters reports, and rehashing them with their own news readers.
That's the routers business model though
Oh I know, what I mean is when the major US outlets just say "A Reuters report says (XYZ)....and WE say that means ABCD!" like that is hardly good journalism, that's more along the lines of glorified op-eds.
Is there any way to get rss feeds directly from AP/Reuters any more?

I think Reuters only has a Best of feed from their agency side, which isn't really that useful as a news feed. All their feeds seem to be shut down, at least the ones I had stopped working.
Why would that be frustrating? That's explicitly what they're for. And we're better off for it.
The frustration is how AP and Reuters report the facts of what's going on, and then the other outlets take that and TELL you how to feel about it rather than do their own fact finding
Jsyk in this specific context it's hanged. Weird right?
