Why is Politico Europe amplifying the polarising propaganda of an American far-right activist oligarch?

6 articles in the last 24 hours!

@AliceStollmeyer Because it's run by Mathias Döpfner and part-owned by Axel Springer, KKR, Thiel et al?

@AliceStollmeyer they are fascinated by the far right; it completely overshadows the daily undramatic EU news that wonks like us need...

@AliceStollmeyer Because Politico is owned by Springer.

What else would they do, but boost nazis?

Anne Applebaum, "Autocracy, Inc.: The Dictators Who Want to Run the World" provides a deeper level analysis to what is going on here.

Basically, large multinational corporates and their managers/owners are manipulating politicians and the general public to dismantle democracy and create a kleptocratic system of government.
