    You don’t even get what the issue is here FFS.

    I get it. I just don’t agree with you.

    You’re not offering a solution, you’re deflecting the criticism.

    Suggesting that you provide alternative sources if you don’t like the ones provided isn’t a solution?

    We had the discussion about Politico’s issues before. I know you know because you commented on the thread. I even linked somewhere else in this very thread. I’m not going to repeat everything.

    Yeah, you don’t like Axel Springer media. So therefore nobody should be allowed to read Politico because… reasons; even though there’s nothing obviously wrong with Politico according to bias and fact checking sites.

    What I don’t understand is your crusade, but I’m sure you have your reasons.

      No, apparently you don’t get it. Again.

      It’s not about me not wanting to read it. It’s not even about the specific political leaning of the editorial office of Politico.
      It’s about who profits and what that person dies with that profit. It’s like Hogwarts Legacy may be a decent game with trans representation, I still call to not buy it because a transphobe profits off that game and uses that profit to advance transbhobia.

        But that’s true for everything. Or pretty much everything. Can’t buy anything with Visa. Can’t buy most food, can’t drive, etc.

        You’d have to live in a hut in the forest and eat moss not too give money to asshats.

        And until there’s an alternative, it will continue. Which is why I suggest you provide alternatives.

          There is stuff you can go without and things to refrain from gets really hard without leaving society. And there are bad people and worse people. Döpfner is one of the worse and actively works on making this world and our society worse, too. And if you keep giving worse people profit, justifying with “Can’t help it, society is shit anyways so why not keep doing bad shit?” you are part of the problem.

          And the alternatives are out there. All news outlet have Europe editorials. There is DW, there is BBC, there are national news outlets etc. Just gotta read them.
