Note Reuters seems to begrudge the verdict via their words and by using a hideous picture of him.

Hardly - the propaganda stance of Reuters is in full tilt in that article. Their choice of quotes makes it VERY apparent about where Reuter's sympathies lie.

Reuters absolutely detests that verdict, and do everything in their power to paint it as 'bad, socially divisive, intolerant, and evil'.
