"This is our mission, in the U.S. and everywhere. We make a difference in the world because we practice professional journalism that is both intrepid and unbiased," explained Reuters Editor-in-Chief Steve Adler to his pool of reporters this morning in a message to staff about covering Trump the Reuters way. But, in a strange twist, it appears the mainstream media is waking up to reality as Adler says: "Get out into the country and learn more about how people live, what they think, what helps and hurts them, and how the government and its actions appear to them, not to us."
The first 12 days of the Trump presidency (yes, that’s all it’s been!) have been memorable for all – and especially challenging for us in the news business. It’s not every day that a U.S. president calls journalists “among the most dishonest human beings on earth” or that his chief strategist dubs the media “the opposition party.” It’s hardly surprising that the air is thick with questions and theories about how to cover the new Administration.
So what is the Reuters answer? To oppose the administration? To appease it? To boycott its briefings? To use our platform to rally support for the media? All these ideas are out there, and they may be right for some news operations, but they don’t make sense for Reuters. We already know what to do because we do it every day, and we do it all over the world.
To state the obvious, Reuters is a global news organization that reports independently and fairly in more than 100 countries, including many in which the media is unwelcome and frequently under attack. I am perpetually proud of our work in places such as Turkey, the Philippines, Egypt, Iraq, Yemen, Thailand, China, Zimbabwe, and Russia,

For these MSM reporters, that’s like Pol Pot telling the people of Phnom Penh to get out into the countryside.
Good post blam!
Learn but not to appreciate.
Reuters reports fairly? Their definition of the word “fair” is surely different from mine...or the dictionary’s.
Farmers learn.
Cowboys learn.
Cops learn.
Even felons learn.
Journalists do not learn. After all, they already know everything.
(but are incapable of doing anything.)
The only thing they are awakening to is the fact that they (The corrupt MSM) got lazy. This is a call to do better opposition research.
Liberals.....

They won’t learn anything from me. I wouldn’t be seen with one in public or allow one in my home.
They are on safari to find out what makes us rubes tick so they can undermine Trump with fake news tailored to the unenlightened.
Rooters’ polls were the first to “fairly’ report that Trump was leading last summer. I wont knock them for it compared to the AP which is “full blown up obamatard’s ass” bias it was sickening.
Maybe they can disappear when they’re out there.
It’d add to the mystery of the region, like the ancient ruins from which no one has returned.
Otherwise seek unemployment.
Good for Reuters!
They’ve simply realized that their propaganda isn’t reaching the poor ignorant rubes in fly over country. They’ll learn, so they can spread propaganda more effectively in the hinterlands. Liberals never admit they’re wrong. To their total destruction, never.
Don’t they have to be briefed on how to talk to we common folk?
“...Reuters is a global news organization that reports independently and fairly in more than 100 countries, including many in which the media is unwelcome and frequently under attack.”
Another lie.
Reuters is global but as far as them reporting “independently and fairly” is a distortion, untruthful and lie of momentous lroportions.
This article is nothing more than a weak and transparent piece of propoganda.
More fake news.
