Lots to unpack here -- but I will try.
First, the overarching point -- about the livelihoods coming from accuracy. I think you are confusing a publisher's business model with a reporter's ability to continue to be hired. If a reporter is caught making things up, that generally is the end of their career. (See Jayson Blair, Stephen Glass, etc)
We license Reuters reporting, so we are not just "rehosting another company's content." And yes, we have had conversations with Reuters and are confident they are also following our editorial policy, and if that were to change, then we would address it.
We speak with the individual reporters we onboard, verifying they are who they say they are, and that they understand the editorial policy as well. And we reserve the right to take action if that trust is violated.
