June 22 (Reuters) - Reuters denied on Saturday that it had reported that Israel would attack Lebanon within 48 hours, after reports circulated on social media citing the news agency as saying this.

“Any claims that Reuters reported that Israel will attack Lebanon within the next 48 hours are false. Reuters did not report this,” a Reuters spokesperson said.

    People faked loads of shit regarding what Israel did or didn’t. These fake news aren’t really a new thing. Interesting that they now say reuters said something they just didn’t…

      I trust Reuters more than I trust Media Bias Fact Check. I of course still vary my media diet, but they’re certainly a pillar of it.

      Seem to remember that they had a big scandal with a climate change denier editor that changed some articles a few years ago. Good to remember that no oragnisation is above scrutiny.

      In this case, I don’t think its credibility matters beyond whether or not they’d lie about not actually saying something people claimed they said.
