First on Hungary/IMF row

Reuters beat Bloomberg by a gaping 35 minutes with news on July 17 that Hungarian government talks with the IMF and EU had collapsed and maintained its dominance of the story on Monday, coming in 20 seconds and more ahead of Bloomberg with alerts from the economy minister ruling out further concessions to its lenders (a message he later softened). The forint plunged 2.5 percent early on Monday as markets reacted to the weekend news. If you wanted to be ahead of the curve, you had to be reading Reuters.
