- TacticalCoder 2y ago> Politico Propped Up by Millions of Dollars from US Government Apparently it was entirely funded by USAID. All of it. The supposedly "independent" news source. 4000+ stories here on HN linked to propagandist Politico pieces. Do you guys begin to understand?
- croes 2y agoSeems like it was only 44k and not 8M and just for subscriptions. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42977622 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42977622 So the White House’s claim was either incompetence or malice. Do you begin to understand? BTW Politico is owned by Axel Springer SE, the owner of the right wing newspapers BILD and Die Welt. The later published a pro-AfD article by Musk endorsing the extreme right wing party as last hope for Germany, Musk is winner of Axel-Springer-Award 2020 and was at the birthday party of Matthias Döpfner, the CEO of Axel Springer SE.
- dennis_jeeves2 2y agoTacticalCoder, I see that many of your comments are _systematically_ greyed out/dead probably because of downvotes/flagging. HN seems to have its own censorship going on.
