I remember when Axios first surfaced; I looked into the people who run it; almost all from Politico. I suppose some things could be right; but I never believe much of it unless corroborated from a more trustworthy source.
Of course, trustworthy sources are very hard to find.
Because a huge swath of the media is controlled by a few billionaires and they want more complete control. FR is a treasure worth defending. If Hildebeest had won then net neutrality would have been pushed and who knows where that might have ended? Already we see the search engines and the social media selecting who gets seen / heard and who doesn't.
But you know all this, of course. :^)
