The chancellor’s strategy of never contradicting the U.S. president in front of the cameras looks humiliating, but he believes he can talk him around on Ukraine and trade.
Döpfner is the CEO and owner of Springer, a media group notorious for pushing a reactionary and neoliberal agenda. There have have been leaks of his private communication showing attempts to prop up the FDP party before elections via his publications. He inherited Springer media group from Ilse Springer. To avoid paying taxes, he invested his liquid funds into stock of the Springer media group before he received the inheritance. Because of the insane German inheritance tax laws, this meant he had to to pay no taxes on a multi billion Euro inheritance.
Safe to say, he is a terrible person utilizing his media empire to poison public discourse.
Be the change you want to see in the world. Give alternative sources, share articles, make the community vibrant with activity and informed discussions about the topic at hand.
The usefulness of this community depends on news being shared, with no activity there’s no reason to visit.
And like it or not, politico covers a lot of European politics and its being reported as factual and center left by bias and fact checking sites, so as a source it’s good enough, even if the owner is an ass.
Then… don’t? You have no obligation to read what I post.
You don’t even get what the issue is here FFS.
What’s wrong with offering a solution to your perceived problem?
You’re not offering a solution, you’re deflecting the criticism.
We had the discussion about Politico’s issues before. I know you know because you commented on the thread. I even linked somewhere else in this very thread. I’m not going to repeat everything.
You’re not offering a solution, you’re deflecting the criticism.
Suggesting that you provide alternative sources if you don’t like the ones provided isn’t a solution?

Yeah, you don’t like Axel Springer media. So therefore nobody should be allowed to read Politico because… reasons; even though there’s nothing obviously wrong with Politico according to bias and fact checking sites.
What I don’t understand is your crusade, but I’m sure you have your reasons.
It’s not about me not wanting to read it. It’s not even about the specific political leaning of the editorial office of Politico.
It’s about who profits and what that person dies with that profit. It’s like Hogwarts Legacy may be a decent game with trans representation, I still call to not buy it because a transphobe profits off that game and uses that profit to advance transbhobia.
There is stuff you can go without and things to refrain from gets really hard without leaving society. And there are bad people and worse people. Döpfner is one of the worse and actively works on making this world and our society worse, too. And if you keep giving worse people profit, justifying with “Can’t help it, society is shit anyways so why not keep doing bad shit?” you are part of the problem.
And the alternatives are out there. All news outlet have Europe editorials. There is DW, there is BBC, there are national news outlets etc. Just gotta read them.
Fuck Politico, Axel Springer and Döpfner. Don’t share, don’t click.
More info please

Döpfner and the Axel Springer conglomerate are the German equivalent to Rupert Murdoch and his media conglomerate in English speaking countries.

Dude, the fuck? No, I won’t sit around reading sickening (literally!) news all day so you don’t share links asshats make a profit from!
Criticism cannot be answered by “Make it better yourself”, that’s some kindergarten shit.
Unproven claim. (Ground News and FCMB don’t count, they have scewed perspectives themselves).
Then… don’t? You have no obligation to read what I post.
What’s wrong with offering a solution to your perceived problem?
I’ve checked a number of them, they all pretty much agree. Where’s the proof that the bias and fact checks are false?
You don’t even get what the issue is here FFS.
You’re not offering a solution, you’re deflecting the criticism.
We had the discussion about Politico’s issues before. I know you know because you commented on the thread. I even linked somewhere else in this very thread. I’m not going to repeat everything.
I get it. I just don’t agree with you.
Suggesting that you provide alternative sources if you don’t like the ones provided isn’t a solution?

What I don’t understand is your crusade, but I’m sure you have your reasons.
No, apparently you don’t get it. Again.
It’s not about me not wanting to read it. It’s not even about the specific political leaning of the editorial office of Politico.
It’s about who profits and what that person dies with that profit. It’s like Hogwarts Legacy may be a decent game with trans representation, I still call to not buy it because a transphobe profits off that game and uses that profit to advance transbhobia.
But that’s true for everything. Or pretty much everything. Can’t buy anything with Visa. Can’t buy most food, can’t drive, etc.
You’d have to live in a hut in the forest and eat moss not too give money to asshats.
And until there’s an alternative, it will continue. Which is why I suggest you provide alternatives.
