  1. The CEO of Reuters has a blog, I think you can leave comments but you need to sign up:

    Reuters Group plc (LSE: RTR and NASDAQ: RTRSY); pronounced [ɹɔɪtəɹz] is known as a financial market data provider and a news service that provides reports from around the world to newspapers and broadcasters. However, news reporting accounts for less than 10% of the company’s income.[1] Its main focus is on supplying the financial markets with information and trading products.

    On May 15, 2007, The Thomson Corporation agreed to a merger with Reuters, a deal valued at US $17.2 billion. Thomson will control about 55% of the new company, to be named Thomson-Reuters. The new head of Thomson-Reuters will be Tom Glocer, the current head of Reuters

  2. And in other breaking news, Al Gore was forced to admit that the final scene of the “Planets of the Apes” movie showing the Statue of Liberty partially buried in the sand was not, after all, another example of the imminent collapse of civilization as we know it due to “global warming”….

  5. Good ole’ Reuters: they’re as dependable with the news as Wile E Coyote is with a stick of dynamite.

  6. The real question to be asking, folks, is how did THIS happen? You are a major wire service with an scoop on Russian misbehavior in the Arctic, an editor requests or is given a photo and never questions how the hell Reuters has subs in the area to catch the Russians in the act and runs with it. What moron thought Hollywood archives would do?
    It hits the wires and a KID, an eighth grader, notices it as bogus. An. Eighth. Grader!
    The Titanic sunk in 1912. Anything expropriated from the movie was technology that is almost 100 years old. HOW could a major wire service not notice this?
    If these morons in the MSM went to cartoon format tomorrow it would be better for the public. Perhaps the idiots haven’t examined the financial merits of such a switch.

  9. So did Reuters just happily run video the Russians gave them or did they decide to spice things up and provided their own video?
    Either way, I’d say the real owner of the footage has a prize winning court case here.

  10. Reuters has also recently reported on another “Iraqi sectarian massacre story” that has turned out to be phoney.

  11. The Al Gore movie “An Inconvenient Truth” will become the “Refer Madness” movie of this century.
    Just wait a decade to two and the laughs will be big looking back at that big ‘Boo Gotcha’ scare movie.

  12. I guess I’m missing something here. The White Star’s Titanic struck an iceberg at 11:40 p.m. on April 14, 1912 opening up a 300 ft gash spanning 5 watertight bulkheads [designed to float if 4 were floodsd]. She was completely submerged by 2:20 a.m. It appears from the headline that Reuters struck an iceberg on August 11th, but what year it is not stated.
    Perhaps the accuracy of reporting was as poor then, as now. Or is it a spoof?

  13. Good find Kate. It’s inexplicable that these idiots think they can get away with fooling the public when so many are watching for it. It’s the same foolhardiness as the people copying essays and handing them in, when teachers can search online databases to compare them.

  15. John
    Pretty much…ssssswwooosssshhhh……ahhhhhhhhh!
    David
    The latter…….the credibility of the MSM has achieved new depths.
    Syncro
    p.s. hit the links or the astrerix…all will be revealed.

  17. Speaking of Saskboy – could someone kindly send him the Maher Arar travel timeline? He seems to be of the belief that the US delivered him directly into Syrian arms.

  19. “This is your captain speaking- there is no cause for alarm. We are only stopping to take on a load of ice.”

  20. @John: “Warming Madness” – good one.
    Regarding the Reuters bobble, I would say that the MSM folks are too trusting. I wonder how much of the unconscious bias in there comes from being suckers for glibness.
    This point may explain the preponderence of liberals there to some extent. Liberals have a hazing all their own, which consists of going from “gull” to – well, a certain kind of cynic. The “idealistic” liberal, being someone who likes the sound of certain words, can still be easily taken in by a silver tongue. This characteristic explains a lot of complaining from them, as well as a lot of lobbying for certain laws and regulations by them. Somewhere along the way, liberals got too sheltered.
    (Perhaps general society did, too.)

  23. And i read that ENRON was a big time contributer to the eco-wackos and many other buisnesses contribute to the eco-wackos so when they send you letter urging you to send $500 now or the wacko valley tetsee fly will die out and go extinct SCREW THE GREENS

  24. Good point made in the Ameican Thinker comments. The Guardian mentions the “mistake” being discovered by a 13 yr old Finnish boy. How exactly does one “mistakenly” search through the movie “Titanic”, “mistakenly” edit and copy the selected scene, and “mistakenly” offer it as footage of a Russian submersible robot on the floor of the arctic ocean?
