I’ve seen this criticism a lot, but as somebody who has Politico in their daily news rotation I just don’t see it myself. It definitely has a voice and perspective – insider-y, pro-Western, well connected to internal party drama – but I’ve never really noticed a right-wing editorial bias or agenda. It frequently features stories critical of Trump and Republicans, and doesn’t seem to engage in unreasonable hit pieces on left-wing figures. Worst you can say is they sometimes have sections sponsored by corporations, but these are clearly labeled and not especially shill-y.

Are there particular headlines or stories that people think are examples of the kind of bias that should make people avoid reading them? Axios, for example, feels like a much bigger offender.

This was not true in 2024, according to Pew. The trend may reverse without Trump and/or after touching the hot stove, but recent elections have shown that Republicans made big gains among low-propensity/low-information voters while Democrats have gained among highly engaged voters.

There are a lot of people who grew up loving the books but strongly oppose funding the author now that she’s made transphobia a central part of her identity. Assuming one is OK with piracy, I don’t see the conflict in wanting to play the game for free.

I’m still baffled by the time she swiftly cracked DRM on Hogwarts Legacy, making it easy for critics of JK Rowling’s transphobia to play without giving her a dime… but then filled the release notes with a transphobic/anti-woke rant. Girl, what?

It’s Kathryn Burgum, wife of Interior Secretary (and former North Dakota governor) Doug Burgum.

Being from North Dakota, you’d think she’d be used to the smell of manure.

Halo 3, Portal, and Super Mario Galaxy released closer to the launch of the Sega Genesis, the original Gameboy, and the fall of the Berlin Wall than today.

Thanks!

What does the shape represent?

I’m surprised he hasn’t awarded himself one for the Butler shooting.

Wouldn’t re-enhanced subsidies blunt any premium rise? Also, I think the deal being discussed includes an extension of open enrollment through spring.

The cynical answer is that it panders to people who are fans of [X] by showing someone younger, cooler, and/or hotter reacting positively to [X]. Imagine every time you’ve tried to share your favorite song or movie with a friend or crush and gotten total disinterest – now you can have dozens of people reacting with awe, laughter, and tears on demand!

Yeah, I applaud his cojones but this headline is just the title of a single video game forum post with a screenshot of a Facebook post. Searching around, I don’t see any indication that his is the deciding vote or anything.
