For what it's worth, part of my work for the US government involves media
analysis.  Reuters is foremost among the news services we consider to be
"balanced."  If you note a factual inaccuracy in their reporting (that's
an
inaccuracy of fact, not opinion) and can offer some evidence that they can
corroborate, chances are excellent that they will post a correction.
