Politico is owned by the german Axel Springer SE, a publisher that also owns Bild, Fakt (polish) and Welt among others.
The publisher and its news outlets (with the aforementioned Bild, Fakt and Welt most prominent) is a main driver for a news coverage and reporting that is jointly responsible for the rise of the far right in Germany and Europe.
Politico itself has published so-called Native Ads, a form of advertisng that is designed like op-ed articles and other opinion pieces in a way that is hard to differeentiate from regular, non-sponsored content, mostly for fossile fuel companies but also healt insurance, finance and weapons industries. (Source 1, Source 2).
That sums up to a news outlet that should not be shared, not be trusted and hence, not be posted here. It was not an issue mostly since this outlet wasn’t posted here often , but recently, Politico articles are getting posted very frequently again, so I suggest the ban now.
Edit: lost a word
Edit 2: it should be noted that there is another publisher with a similar name (Springer Nature with several subsidiaries), but that company os not affiliated with Axel Springer SE and has different issues.
Politico Europe as a main driver of the far right, which it persistently criticizes, investigates and denounces.
Why are you on this vendetta?

how do you @Pip@feddit.org turn this 👆 into this 👇?
And then you use ground news as some kind of purity test, as if it’s worth any consideration. 10/10 chances they use an LLM to summarise their descriptions of news orgs. Only a complete fool (or lazy fool) would even entertain the idea politico is anywhere close to being left leaning or using ground news for anything at all.
If you want to link users (and/or ping them) you need an additional @ in fron of everything. It’s not verdi@tartr.nuage-libre.fr but unstead it’s @verdi@tarte.nuage-libre.fr. Some apps also show suggestions for autocompletion when you start with @ and enter the first letters.
Many thanks 🙇
Ground News is BS for people without critical thinking skills. What they think is left is often considered centric conservative or flat out neoliberal outside the USA.
That is not what I wrote. Don’t rip stuff out of context.
Then I misunderstood your second paragraph on the “main driver”.
