I've been observing this for years. They predetermine the "because of Y" as it usually has to do with some narrative they are being paid to propagate. At best the link between x and y is tenuous, and at worst it makes no sense to cause x didn't even happen. See this one and it's a head scratcher, see it a few times and it's suspicious, see it 100 times and it appears insidious. It's a shame. I think Reuters used to be trustworthy.
