What are "Politco.eu" political and billionaire ties? Just out of curiosity.

[โ€“] phneutral@feddit.org 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Politico was bought bei conservative German publisher Axel Springer SE some years ago. Their tabloid Bild is populist to right-wing. They have ties to German car manufacturers and other uber rich. CEO Dรถpfner is for example friends with Peter Thiel afaik.

Okay, so politico then can be discarded as reliable. I mean, it's soort of independent ish still, but I don't trust it to be that forever.

Going to stick with the Jacobin and Freedom (the British journal).
