About politico.eu
I see a lot of politico links in this sub and I'd just like to say:
POLITICO Europe is a subsidiary of Axel Springer SE.
That's a right leaning and pretty unethical publisher and politico has already been caught several times spreading reactionary propaganda. I also suspect they publish undisclosed opinion pieces as news. Like some fossil fuel investor explaining how wind turbines could be hacked by China without providing any compelling evidence. Many articles are well written so it's hard to spot the grift sometimes. Just stay vigilant.
You're viewing a single thread.
It's a bit exhausting. I use https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/ to see biases and credibility of different websites. Anything that's not at least Center-X and High I pretty much dismiss. Rest I take with heaps of salt.
How do I know that site is trustworthy? I don't 🫠
The public discourse shifted (/was engineered to shift) so far right in the last 10-20 years, that you have to assume:
Right = extremist
Center = right
Left = center
Radical left = left
Left-leaning media is usually written based on facts. Which, somehow, in these times is accused to be „biased“.
MBFC is run by some dude whose evidence basically is also just "trust me bro".
At the end of the day you won't get around reading multiple sources and trying to understand for yourself what is going on. Also there is issues that are systematically ignored or downplayed by the "center" and "trustworthy" media, in particular when it comes to the consequences of western politics in "poorer" countries or when a government appointed but not official, but still pretty influential guy makes a nazi salute on stage, twice, but it is not declared to be that, despite hundred of millions of people having seen it on video.
