From the desk of Axel CEO Dopfner, who sounds every bit like an out of touch media tycoon that leverages his position to help his preferred party : > Mathias Döpfner, the CEO and co-owner of Axel Springer used the word "Ossis" — a derogatory term for residents of eastern Germany — and labeled them as either communists or fascists. Döpfner said his remarks were triggered by his anger at the large share of voters in eastern Germany who back the post-communist Left Party or the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD). In the runup to the 2021 federal election, he suggested that Germany's largest circulation newspaper Bild should help boost the poll ratings of the neoliberal Free Democratic Party (FDP), Die Zeit reported. https://www.dw.com/en/axel-springer-boss-under-fire-over-slurs-on-east-germans/a-65338414 https://www.dw.com/en/axel-springer-boss-under-fire-over-slu...
