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.

Obligatory mention of the Anti Axel Springer hosts file you can put in your uBlock or wherever you block ads/connections. No more accidentally reading Springer bullshit.

Aaah i didnt know Axel Springer aka germanys Fox News bought them

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.

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.
