    I didn’t understand this comment, so I checked who owns Politico. Turns out, it’s Axel Springer SE, which is for 95% owned by Mathias Döpfner.

    They’re headquartered in Berlin. Döpfner is a Zionist (that is, he supports Israeli apartheid and thus its ongoing genocide on Palestinians) and met with Vance at the Munich Security Conference, calling for an end of isolation of the European far right.

    Yeah, I think we might need a source that that’s not Politico. Fuck

      That ia actually not even the worst part.

      Axel Springer (note: there is another publisher named Springer that publishes scientific books) owns Bild und Welt, two of the most popular “news outlets” in Germany, and uses those papers’ popularity and reach to push the Overton Window to the right. Axel Springer is a main contributor to the political shift to the right and the rise of right wing extremism in Germany.
