Par for the course with Axios. Their articles never say anything. They give the appearance of providing information with their bullets points and ‘why it matters’ sectioning, but it’s really the journalistic equivalent of cotton candy.
- threatofrain 5y agoAxios does provide information, it's just that rather than a long-form essay they distill a story down to a few bullet points. You are obviously going to lose something if you exchange essays with 3-5 bullet points. Nevertheless, Axios is unique in choosing this style. I don't know how they did it, but Axios emerged out of nowhere and suddenly developed access to the White House, including under the Trump administration.
