Politico’s framing leans pro‑legislation, subtly signaling support for the bill by foregrounding officials and advocates who stress enforcement while downplaying arguments about encryption and civil liberties. Its emphasis on the public’s “disruptive” tactics risks delegitimizing grassroots opposition by casting broad civic engagement as mere nuisance rather than substantive democratic protest.
Politico is owned by Germany's largest right leaning yellow press publisher Axel Springer. They love to push Anti-Green, ultra conservative agendas
And Mathias Döpfner is himself an out of touch billionaire-class nut who applauds the tamping of freedoms (including of the press) and jumps at every chance to breathe life into lies that advance his oligarchic wet dreams. The kind of person who says horrible things, then lies about saying them, and when confronted with the receipts, pretends he was just being "edgy" or "provocative" to provoke the plebs.
News organizations that exist to accurately report the news and properly inform the public are the exception now, I'm afraid. The rest have an agenda, and it never involves the common good.
Common tactic for the elite media controlling class like Trump, Musk, etc.
Axel Springer also gave an "award" to Sam Altman. Trump's not the only "American king" demanding tributes!
