UBS deletes tweet attacking FT journalist over investment bank results

The Swiss bank accused reporter of engaging in ‘agenda journalism’ by not favourably comparing its investment bank to US rivals

UBS has deleted a tweet that singled out a journalist at the Financial Times, who incorrectly reported that the second-quarter results of the Swiss bank’s investment banking division fell short of analyst expectations.

On Tuesday, via its Twitter feed, UBS accused the reporter of engaging in “agenda journalism” by not favourably comparing the investment bank to its US rivals.
