        Do I really have to spell it out like for a five year old?

        Why did you not post the link you commented instead of the Politico-link?

          Would be good if your comments were more nuanced and a bit more respectful every now and then. Your arguments about “Politico” holds also true for many other media outlets. It’s something others have already commented on in your post and comments. You keeps pushing your own agenda in this matter.

          Most people here should be adults and are capable of making their own decision in what they read.

            Why should I respectfully answer comments that aren’t respectful in the first place? Why should I answer a dad joke-level intentional “misunderstanding” with “Oh, I’m sorry”?

            Yeah… so? Do I need to fight on all fronts simultaneously to be allowed to criticise any given corporation? Do I need to attack Danone, Mars and Kraft every time I point out Nestlé is evil?
            Or do you just want me to stop pointing out Politico is ownee by an evil publisher?

            Yes, and to be able to do so, they need to be informed.

          Because to me Politico is good enough. I did however add a second link for people with an aversion to politico, as a courtesy.

          I get that you don’t like politico, but that’s not my problem. I post links that I find interesting. You don’t have to read them. You can even block me to avoid seeing any of my links. That’s fine, I don’t mind.

          I strongly disagree with the idea of “Only sources that I find acceptable should be allowed”. You don’t have to agree, and nobody is stopping you from posting your own content. I won’t even complain about your sources, I promise.

            I mean, I think I remember a comment of yours stating you’d only use Politico if you couldn’t find another source on a matter.

              Did I? I might have tbf, can’t remember.

              I’m not out to antagonize people, but also if the best article on a subject is Politico then I’m not going to avoid posting it. The second link was some sort of dodgy blog that could have been run by literal Nazis for all I know. I hope not, but I don’t know.

              I still call on the anti-Politico brigade to post interesting articles from other sources. I check the feed before I post and if the subject is already there I don’t post the same news again.
