As indicated in the DNC email hack, CNN and the washington post and some other former journalist organizations are no longer operating as journalist organizations and are simply self funded partisan propaganda "fake news" sites focused solely on obeying the DNC to elect the most Democrats as possible. Naturally relations are abrasive between the leader of a party in power and the propaganda arm of a political party out of power, how could it be otherwise? Those orgs are no longer journalists by their own choice; I'm not seeing a problem.
I don't recall seeing many (any?) Reuters names in the DNC email hack. I don't recall an unusual amount of fake news coming from Reuters. I don't recall an unusual amount of friction between Trump and Reuters in general. AFAIK they are journalists operating as journalists doing the job of journalists and unless there are secret emails so far unreleased implying otherwise they should expect to continue acting as journalists.
I don't see the point in the news release. AFAIK at this time Reuters is in the real news business whereas the friction is entirely happening with fake news businesses some of which formerly were journalists but are now purely focused on propaganda. It would be as pointless as Ford issuing a press release commenting on the latest FireFox build, they're not even in the same industry....
