@GottaLaff @Wileymiller

Politico has been bought by the German facist publisher Axel Springer Verlag. This headline doesn't surprise me one bit.

IMO. Politico has always sucked. It just sucks worse now.

@Brynawel @GottaLaff @Wileymiller when was it bought? I read a week or so ago that it was owned by axel springer and was genuinely surprised - normally you can tell a mile off.

@Brynawel @GottaLaff @Wileymiller ah, was less lazy than 20 seconds ago, and checked Wikipedia:

In August 2021, Axel Springer SE signed an agreement to acquire Politico, including the remaining 50 percent share of its current joint venture Politico Europe, as well as the tech news website Protocol from Robert Allbritton for an estimated value of $1 billion.

And it was Springer-owned Die Welt in Germany which recently gave Elon Musk editorial space to promote the far-right AfD. Nazis need their media poodles.

And Axel Springer has been bought by the massively fossil fuel invested private equity company KKR.
