“In Germany, Axel Springer owns titles including tabloid Bild and the center-right broadsheet Die Welt. It has recently expanded greatly in the United States, buying Business Insider for about $500 million and the business-based Morning Brew.”
So much for Politico….
Good journalism follows where the story takes you; it doesn’t posit the story and bend the narrative to fit.
Great way to make sure everyone knows you’re full of shit and not a trustworthy objective news source
I sure as shit wont support the same company that owns build. Any recomended alternatives ?
>Media companies have societal responsibility in a democracy, because they shape the way their readers, listeners, viewers, and users form their opinions. This is why Axel Springer is the only independent publishing house to have had a corporate constitution through the Essentials since 1967, to ensure it takes account of this responsibility in a transparent manner.
>It was Axel Springer himself, who fixed in writing freedom as the most important value and the safeguarding thereof as the objective of his company: The **Essentials derived from this commitment have been part of the articles of association as well as the contracts with the journalists in Germany**, and have characterized Axel Springer ever since. In conjunction with the German version, an **international version of the Essentials, introduced in March 2016, also unites all employees in all the companies belonging to Axel Springer in standing up for freedom**.
>The Essentials were formulated by Axel Springer in 1967 and have been updated over the decades in order to adapt them to the social understanding of our company and our view of the world.
> 1. We stand up for freedom, the rule of law, democracy and a united Europe.
> 2. We support the Jewish people and the right of existence of the State of Israel.
>3. We advocate the transatlantic alliance between the United States of America and Europe.
>4. We uphold the principles of a free market economy and its social responsibility.
>5. We reject political and religious extremism and all forms of racism and sexual discrimination.

It’s worth mentioning that the European version of politico has always been a joint venture with Axel Springer since its foundation in 2014. So I’m not sure if this purchase will have a noticable impact on the quality of politico EU.
Why add the word “german” in the post’s title when it isnt part of the articles headline?
denying israel’s right to kill palestinian kids means you are nazi
Anyone notice that Israel’s arguments against apartheid and the massacres always involve suppression of free speech and a wide array of fallacies?
