Reuters and AP News are really the only two sources I pretty much implicitly trust anymore. As far as I'm concerned, the person reporting false news and attributing it to Reuters should be hung by the neck until dead.
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.
