In 2016, Reuters’ Apple TV news app lead with coverage of tRump campaign coverage every single day. I quit using the otherwise slick app, because their disproportionate focus on him was glaringly obvious.

Is Reuters a legit news source? Yes, but don’t take off your critical thinking cap when you see their bylines.

Eta: I’m not sure how much I can trust Reuters after this move.
