Who owns Reuters? They seem overwhelmingly Pro-Bush
lately. They didn't even cover the 14,00 protesters in Mainz! They are making it appear as though Bush has been sucessful! The wording is very slanted as well and much is out of context!

1. There are other articles stating they did cover Mainz.
There's an article at Boston.com about the anti-Bush sentiment in Mainz. It quotes a Reuters article.

Reuters is based in London. I've never noticed them be pro-Bush before.

2. Hmm. There is no mention of it anywhere on the online issue they
email me. Wonder why? I'll check the other.But really, the verbiage is strange.And it didn't use to be.That is why it caught my attention.

3. Reuters is to the British government as Fox is to Washington.
If Blair is backing Bush then Reuters isn't going to Bash Bush very much!

They have always came across as very neutral to me.

Article on the run-up to Mainz here:
