If only it was true. Sadly, the source is Reuters, not VOA.
Yes VOA, which is what is linked to, does say the source is Reuters, which I'm sure we've both noticed is not the WSJ that Reuters refers to in the article, which would be the primary source of this information ostensibly.
Half the news networks republishes Reuters content. Instead of using Reuters link, I used VOA, since they don't break embedded metadata. The content is identical. If you had an issue with the content or primary source, that would have been one thing, but instead you had to showcase your ignorance, or alternatively you deliberately tried to inflame a controversy out of nothing.
