Hi, Ironyak.
Yes, undoubtedly people in public positions are generally pretty good at spin huh?
As far as the Reuters/IARC debacle goes I think the main take away is that the IARC refuses to share the process behind their decision making (see article linked below - its a different article than the one you linked btw). Reuters has revealed that earlier drafts of the IARC monograph on glyphosate indicated glyphosate does not cause cancer while later drafts completely reversed this finding. This is a rather concerning reversal and when the IARC was questioned they refused to reveal their decision making policies while sharing: “IARC would like to reiterate that draft versions of the Monographs are deliberative in nature and confidential.”
I don't know about you, but I think a public regulatory agency has no business refusing to reveal their decision making process - especially for something as controversial as this subject and especially when their finding is the opposite of every single other major regulatory agency in the world.
