Media News In the Doghouse: Reuters runs with one-sided story

Okay, so this isn’t the crime of the century, but I’ve been wanting to put someone in the Doghouse for this practice. Reuters ran this piece about YouTube deleting 30,000 files after copyright complaints from a Japanese media consortium. Pretty straightforward story, but Reuters’s only source was the consortium. “YouTube officials could not immediately be reached for comment.” Was this story so pressing that it had to hit the wire “immediately”? How did they verify the number of files deleted? Was there some impending danger to readers?
