And this is "left" because of...........?

Tom,
Your proselytising is getting beyond the pale.
It must be difficult to get through life when there are so many injustices in the world perpetrated by thos pinko-commie socialist liberals to rail against.

How is Reuter's policy of reporting the news a symptom of the left (and a wrongly, nastily perceived one at that)?

Reuters' goal is to report the news to the world.
They have a training class for their cub reporters - they are given an eyewitness account that describes noise, fire, explosions, and told to write it up.
Most trainees write along the lines of "There was an explosion at......."
The correct Reuters answer is "There was fire and loud bang at.... which eyewitnesses desrcibed as an explosion...."

See the difference? Their job is to report, not to interpret.
Do I think it's a terrorist attack? Sure I do.
Did I think the IRA attack on the NatWest building in London was a terrorist attack? Again, yes. Would many Americans? No.

Tony
