| That is intended. They just want you to eat your lunch, not to ask stupid questions about whether it was ethically sourced or how much rat milk is in that sauce. It is also kind of interesting that they couldn’t get a single journalist from the OG Politico staff to put one of their names under it. So this is basically pushing "Die Welt" content into the English-speaking / US hemisphere disguised under the Politico brand label. The only person in relation to Politico is the illustrator who, at least for me, added her own little detail of artistic protest by colouring the nails of the man in the picture, who eerily looks like Doepfner while leaving his toenails out and absolutely half-assing the fires. https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/thumbnails/imag... Something the ultra-conservative chief doofus would rage about if he actually read the shit his staff writes and not just the metrics. Lennart Pfahler and Philipp Woldin are reporters for WELT. Alexander Dinger is WELT’s investigations editor. I didn’t see that disclaimer the first time I read the article, but it’s kind of a statement by itself, they are distancing this clearly from Politico staff-written content. |
