Reuters, the influential news agency headquartered in London, whose wire service stories appear in print, broadcast and web media outlets, routinely uses partisan, distorted terminology in its Middle East news reports.

Thus Reuters regularly characterizes Palestinian terror against Israel as "the Palestinian uprising for statehood" or "uprising for Palestinian independence" or "uprising for an independent state."
