156. Ownership changed to Axel Springer in 2021.

Tue Dec 31, 2024, 12:48 AM

Dec 31

Axel Springer currently owns Die Welt, the German publication which published Elon Musk's op-ed in which he told Germans that the far right AfD party was Germany's "last spark of hope." There's been an uproar about Musk's attempt to interfere in the upcoming German elections, and the opinion editor of the newspaper promptly resigned over management's decision to publish it.

Politico's political coverage used to be considered pretty centrist/center-left and reliable. Not sure that there's been enough change for the ratings to change, but since those are done by analyzing coverage over a lengthy period of time rather than one single article, I'm not sure that there hasn't been some change either that just hasn't been published because the research isn't complete for that time period.

Those ratings take time.
