If they stir up enough shit, they can report on it and get more clicks you say.

1. If it's got to do with his comments, I don't find anything wrong with it.

Not everything is "nazi" related...

2. Reuters was recently sold to a right wing outfit

I can't remember right now, but please do google it and tell me. My dog is whining for her walk. TNX

4. They look like just your average shitty mega corporation that owns too much

This was probably some smartass in the twitter office who thought he was being funny.

6. Reuters and TASS are now connected.

TASS News Agency joins Reuters Connect


TASS is owned by the Russian government.

9. That is not true.

Reuters

Reuters (/ˈrɔɪtəz/ (About this soundlisten)) is an international news organisation owned by Thomson Reuters. It employs around 2,500 journalists and 600 photojournalists in about 200 locations worldwide. Reuters is one of the largest news agencies in the world.

The agency was established in London in 1851 by the German-born Paul Reuter. It was acquired by the Thomson Corporation in 2008 and now makes up the media division of Thomson Reuters.

11. Being a distributor for TASS's content is not the same as being owned by TASS.

REUTERS MEDIA CENTER | JUNE 1, 2020 / 5:01 AM / UPDATED A YEAR AGO

TASS News Agency joins Reuters Connect

{snip}

By Reuters StaffTASS joins a growing roster of 17 news agencies whose content is already available to clients on Reuters Connect – PA Media (UK), EFE (Spain), Imagine China, Aflo (Japan), Panoramic (France), Bildbryan (Scandinavia), ANI (India), ABACA PRESS (France), Bernama (Malaysia), AAP (Australia), Anadolu (Turkey), Belga News Agency (Belgium), DPA (Germany), Hans Lucas (France), Latin American News Agency (Argentina), Scanpix Baltics, SIPA (USA).

Reuters now makes content from TASS available to its many clients. It also does this for 17 other news agencies. They are clients, not owners. None of them owns Reuters any more than TASS does.

The deal works in the opposite direction too. TASS can now distribute content from those 17 other clients.

Thanks for writing.

12. That is why we said connected and that still makes some of

their material suspect, especially when it is so far off.

3. I noticed that too on a news feed...

don't know if it was a Reuters article, but another picture had the same splotch of color. I looked again and neither one was there. The other picture had nothing to do with politics, so hard to say where the errant splotch originated.

5. it is a shadow from his hand

it could have been photoshopped out in some versions.

I think the OP is referring to the photo showing a moment when he happened to extend his arm in an article about actions that some morons would consider fascist.

[brooklynite]

8. Nothing wrong with the photo...

…nor is there any evidence they intended to stir something up.
