alt Hacker Newsnice slippery slope you manufactured there - what if Reuters becomes Daily Mail
what framing are you talking about? they are literally quoting a company.
please explain what Reuters should have done here. Should they have added in parentheses: (editor note: we don't agree with Anthropic calling this an "attack")
Is that what you want? News outlets giving their opinion and moral judgement on company quotes? I mean, Fox News/CNN do have a large following, so there is clearly a market for that.

If you’re going to call out their use of slippery slope as a fallacy then it should be pointed out that your original argument was framed on an appeal to authority of Reuters as a leading news agency.
Both are logically unsound.

This is very straightforward: use direct quotes or use neutral language. The article describes the alleged incident as both an “attack” and a “strike” in the first two paragraphs. And neither is within verbatim quoted text.
Reuters, however highly you may regard them, simply adopted Anthropic’s framing uncritically in this instance.
