Politico to go non-partisan? DC in panic mode.

[Delldude]

Bezo's bought WAPO for influence, now Politico, once a beacon of the LW media may become non partisan and actually do unbiased reporting.
Can you imagine that?
And it's panic among the DC media.

Last summer, the German publishing company Axel Springer purchased Politico. The media guesstimated the price was $1 billion. Who knows? Who cares what the price was?

At the time, Mathias Döpfner, CEO of Axel Springer, said, "Politico's outstanding team has disrupted digital political journalism and set new standards. A true North Star. It will be a privilege and a special responsibility to help shape the future of this outstanding media company. Objective quality journalism is more important than ever, and we mutually believe in the necessity of editorial independence and nonpartisan reporting. This is crucial for our future success and accelerated growth."

But the Washington Post does worry because the only reason Daddy Warbucks, er, Jeff Bezos bought it was for its influence. And Politico is cutting into that.

Today WaPo ran a profile (hit piece) on Döpfner. It was titled, "Politico's new German owner has a ‘contrarian’ plan for American media."

The goal here is to isolate Politico and get politicians and their spokesmen to stop talking to Politico. That is a pretty savvy plan.

The charges against Döpfner are 1. he plans to make the site nonpartisan, and 2. he asked his employees in Germany to pray for Donald Trump on Election Day 2020.

This is blasphemy and apostasy in the seat of the most expensive government in the history of the world.

WaPo published an email he sent executives in Germany on November 3, 2020. It said, "Do we all want to get together for an hour in the morning on November 3 and pray that Donald Trump will again become President of the United States of America?
"No American administration in the last 50 years has done more."
Fact check: True.
I do not know which bothered WaPo most: that he supported Trump or that Döpfner prayed.

The panic is a sight to behold. Joe Concha of Fox tweeted, "Hilarious reading all of these media members down here freaking out over Politico’s new owner… all without possessing a hint of self-reflection on who they openly root for in terms of political parties in their so-called coverage on a daily basis."

I never followed Politico much, but recently have seen articles pop up in my news feeds showing a movement away from their usual LW partisan BS. Maybe a change is in the making.

Let me know when they stop with the Tabloid reporting.

It would be great if the Compost would become a real newspaper behaving in journalism. Go Political and don't get steamrolled over by the Democrat hypocrites who despise truth and unbiased reporting.

If the right-wing kooks at Politico went neutral, that would be a good thing. It takes some massive cult brainwashing to think that the Republican-defending hacks at Politico are left-wing.

Politico's specialty? Wildly dishonest bothsiderism. Stuff like "Sure, Trump was a traitor, and the Republicans attempted a violent fascist coup, but the Democrats were impolite, so both sides are equally bad! And we're so impartial for criticizing both sides!".

Even CNN is showing early signs of trying to gain their first credibility on a generation.

Honest and objective reporting? What a fucking major concept!
