    Make an actual post about politico and Axel Springer explaining why they are a problematic source with sources.

    In the future link people to your post and the discussion that will ensue under your post.

    That would be the ideal way of raising awareness without irritating people who don’t know what is going on.

      I linked a whole discussion that contains evidence. What more would you want?

      Also, according to the votes, people are not irritated. There is an agreement.

      Even better would be for them to go and find coverage in non-Springer outlets and post it instead in case a Politico link is posted. Now it is just all noise and no signal.

          Because I could not find any initially. I replaced the Politico link with the TNW one before even noticing the tedious preaching about Politico. Not a fan of Springer myself. Just not to the point I will be an annoying twat spamming every thread about it.

            That’s fine. Others appreciate the annoying twat spamming every thread about it. I’d rather read about it many times than not know about it at all. Thanks to that particular annoying twat, I read up on it and put it on my block list. So, yay for the annoying twat! :)

              Wanting to change the world includes having to come up with alternatives. Just complaining does little. If I (purely hypothetical) were to add a moderation rule it would be that if one is on principle opposed to a certain media outlet, regardless of the quality of its coverage, then every complaint about it should be accompanied by coverage from a more acceptable outlet providing similar coverage.
