  Not denying Axel Springer's practices in Germany. I'm just calling it as I know it having worked closely with people who currently work at Politico or used to work at Politico, What happens in the future I can't predict, but were there to be any kind of meddling in a HEAVILY AMERICAN newsroom would 1. Be very openly reported on by their competitors 2. See a massive amount of disgruntled ex-employees leaving for Axios (eg. the exodus at Protocol), The Hill, etc. 3. Wokld be talked about openly as a lot of us have worked closely with Politico members.
