Reuters signs CBS and ABC as clients

John Pullman, global head of video and pictures at Reuters, sent out the following announcement on Thursday:

I am delighted to announce that Reuters has two new customers in the USA – CBS and ABC.
CBS has returned to Reuters after a couple of years away. It’s great to have them back.
ABC has become a Reuters customer for the first time in the company’s history.
The two deals mean that for the first time ever Reuters has a clean sweep of the main US TV networks – ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC and Fox.
Both ABC and CBS have realised that they cannot operate a successful news business without Reuters. Like all our customers, they depend on the brilliant, brave work we produce day in, day out. These two deals are a testament to your hard work.
Thank you for all your efforts – they’re hugely appreciated by me, and by our customers.
John

Probably CBS and ABC doing the wrong choice or any political interest
As the public knowledge Reuters is not only news agency but also political vehicle as well as freedom of integrity
