Do you trust reuters as a news source? (en.wikipedia.org)

Reuters is a news agency headquartered in London, but they report on news around the globe. Often other news just recite Reuters news instead of traveling the world themself. How trustworthy and unbiased you think they are?

I trust them to generally do their due diligence and report the truth. As with all press agencies, there will be exceptions to this and instances where journalists spread false information. In those instances, I expect them to correct their errors, which I believe they usually do. There will also always be some level of bias with any journalism, at the very least in choosing what to report on and what not to.
