Freedom from bias

Ridiculous! [Thomson Reuters comes out for UK same sex marriage bill]. So where does Reuters stand on the Israeli-Arab dispute? Or the F.A. Cup final result? Or the likely winner of the three-thirty at Kempton Park? These people are insane. Once we were proud to be praised far and wide for our objectivity, which also more-or-less guaranteed our safety in hot spots and eased access to officials and the military. Report the same-sex “marriage” result (a pretty feeble story anyway): Sure, but why do we have to declare for or against? It’s not Reuters’ job, at least didn’t use to be. This will have repercussions (or at best raise a few titters) in some parts of the world.
