Reuters is not a news organization

Ted Cruz played a role in the government shutdown? Didn't everybody in congress play a role in the government shutdown. Got it Reuters is a leftist organization. I can't believe that Phonescoop would let this political B.S. get on their website. I guess we know which way this site leans.

Just because you happen to label Reuters as not real news and subjectively label them liberal, doesn't make it so. This site doesn't have a political affiliation. It's sad if you really think that to be true. All this site does is report what is going on as it relates to the wireless industry. When something happens that affects the industry, they're going to tell it like it is. Sorry if facts don't fit in your world-view.

Uh... It sounds like the "facts" don't fit your world view actually.
Reuters, MSNBC, HuffPo.... these are not "news" organizations. These are Corporations throwing propaganda down our throats at the behest of the puppets in the government that they own. This "article" basically laid the entire shutdown of the government on Ted Cruz.... instead of the corporate banker owned politicians who have ruined this country. Get a clue man.

Amen brother. What irks me most is how liberals pretend to be neutral. They have basically redefined neutrality as the left's position. I've lost count of the number of so-called neutral and unbiased websites I've visited that do nothing but promote the leftist agenda. Anyone with an objective brain can see these sites for what they are, and anyone who defends them is either in on it or extremely naive.

With that said, I don't think Phonescoop is a leftist site by any means. This is clearly a phone site. I agree with you that the article egregiously places the blame on Ted Cruz's shoulders. I even think that some of the author's political bias may be showing in this case. But honestly, who cares. Any stuff like that is very minimal on thi...

That's what you guys got out of the article? If that's the criteria you have for news then news doesn't exist. Every news organization Fox, MSNBC, etc etc sells a story. The facts are as reported. Ted Cruz is one of many Conservatives who used the shutdown as leverage. His face was gleefully all over Fox News being labeled as a hero a cowboy. Even McCain said the Republicans were responsible and that people like Cruz were making a mistake. And that was on Fox. This is the guy that was running for President two elections ago.

This site is far and away from political except when it affects wireless news. As such only one congressman involved in holding up this vote. That's what you should take from the article.

Politically we all define...

I agree with you that both sides are wrong. But you clearly don't understand the Constitution if you think the Republicans (and Republican are anything but conservative, btw) shut down the government. It blows my mind how many people parrot the garbage they hear on mainstream media and can't think for themselves.

And you're right I'm pretty good at calling people who are not on my side "the other side". What else would I call the other side? But I define the two sides differently, as free thinkers and lovers of liberty on my side, and ignorant cattle and haters of democracy on the other side. Sadly, most Republicans and Democrats fall onto "the other side".

On one last note, there's a reason Republicans didn't vote for McCain... the sa...

Politically we all define anything not our side as the other side. If you don't agree with Conservatives you're liberal and if you don't agree with liberals you're conservative. Both ideals are wrong.

The fact that you use McCain as an example proves my point. McCain is NOT a "conservative". He is not eve...

Reuters is one of the most respected and oldest news organizations. They are known for upholding journalistic objectivity since their founding in 1851, asking very tough questions that maybe you don't like, but they do it to all sides. Nothing in the article is untrue..

Nothing in the Reuters article is untrue. The added comment of Cruz being responsible for the government shutdown was what I had issue with... not to mention the previously mentioned misuse of the term "shutdown".
Reuters has a history of objectivity. I've seen my share of bias with them as well. Very few "media" outlets are free from corporate political bias.
I don't know... Count me surprised to see such a political slant on this site. Phonescoop has a history of being non political.
