With regards to Politico

Ive noticed several posts here linking to politico articles, which I find strange for this community given their history and affiliations.

To everyone reading, just give the wiki page on them a read, follow the references cited in it, and make up your own mind on whether you want to trust it as a source for EU news.

To everyone who posts their articles in here, I hope its just because you weren't aware of all this, rather than anything else.

Its not just that, directly. They also seem to be working for fossil fuel companies, amongst other things that make me have a feeling that they're goal is not to report news accurately but to push an agenda, which I doubt the people in this community subscribe to.

In 2021, Politico was reportedly acquired for over $1 billion by Axel Springer SE, a German news publisher and media company.[6] Axel Springer SE's CEO Mathias Dopfner said that Politico employees would be required to adhere to the company's principles of support for Israel, support for a United Europe and a free-market economy. In 2025, a group of Politico employees won a landmark case against the firm's use of AI tools.

Could have just posted this excerpt from the top of the article honestly. Don't really nées to read all of it.

I will have to look at this. I know they're ran by a billionaire that's why it's not one of the outlets I visit regularly.
