They try to “both sides” a bit but this is basically too lopsided. The article is mainly factual and talks about Orbans corruption and jury rigging of the government.
That’s not the issue. The issue with Politico is it’s owned by Axel Springer SE, a german publisher that also has BILD, Welt and Fakt (polish) in its portfolio, some of the biggest culprits of pushing the overton window to the right in Europe. Plus the CEO of Axel Springer SE, Mathias Döpfner, personally pushes right wingers and neoliberalists, he endorsed Trump ahead of the 2020 election, told the BILD editors to push the FDP (german neoliberal party) ahead of the 2021 german federal election, called J.D. Vance’s speech at Munic Security Conference, where Vance called for ending Europe’s far right parties’ isolation, “inspiring” and endorses Benjamin Netanjahu.
I don’t want to give clicks to such corporations and people.
I personally haven’t seen this extremely, extremely questionable ownership affect their (non-opinion news) writing though, unlike Murdoch and WSJ. So I won’t rely on it but I won’t question them until they publish weird stuff yet either.
I know its owned by the right wing. I’m pointing out that they tried to talk out of both sides of their mouth on this and give him cover, but largely couldnt because Orban’s corruption is so blatent.
