YSK that Politico is a subsidiary of Axel Springer, a right-wing propaganda house - feddit.org

Thus, when you’re tempted to share a Politico article, please look instead for an article from a different source. (Also, if you’re wondering, know that Axel Springer, the mass media company, has nothing to do with Springer, the science publisher (the one with the chess knight logo; it’s named after Julius Springer; it deserves criticism of its own, but a different kind.)

What news organization today isn’t owned by some international goliath?

There’s no “objective” source, so you must read from multiple sources and then try to discern what’s really going on by what they DON’T say.

Media bias fact checkers have their own biases though. Relying on one is like outsourcing your critical thinking to somebody else.

Looking up Politico on MBFC, for example, paints an entirely different story to that of what Wikipedia says about Politico. To the point that one is clearly outright lying. Considering that Wikipedia is open to all, and requires citations for claims. And MBFC is edited almost entirely by one person. I know which of the two I would be trusting more.

Not to considered BBC left leaning with their coverage of the Gaza bombings. So yeah.
