Good to know. Anything in this article seem wrong to you? If anything, he seems to understate the case.

Agreed. He’s a big propagandist for the Demorats, as is all of AXIOS’ contributors.
From Wikipedia...
“Criticism and controversy
Allen has attracted criticism for focusing coverage on superficial aspects of politics and of the culture of Washington D.C.[9][1] In November 2013, The Washington Post wrote a lengthy article detailing a payola scandal in which Allen would give favorable Politico coverage in return for advertising dollars.[10] Allen has refused to publicly comment.[11] Jonathan Chait described Politico’s response as ‘evasive tripe’.[12] Writing in Salon, Alex Pareene described his work as “indistinguishable from a paid advocate for business interests.”[13]
In November 2015, Allen made an apology after the website Gawker reported that he offered to let Chelsea Clinton screen interview questions in advance of a proposed interview. The offer was made in a January 2013 email exchange between Allen and Hillary Clinton’s aide Philippe Reines. He also promised in the email that the interview would be “no surprises” and “no risk.”[14]
Personal life
A somewhat reclusive figure, Allen has a profile by Mark Leibovich reported that many of his friends did not know where he lived, and that none of them had ever been inside his apartment.[1] A colleague who knew him in earlier life described him as living among ‘mounds of newspapers and a couple pieces of junky furniture’.[16][7]”
Sounds like a first class loser and scumbag.
The article literally says nothing. Typical of modern journalism.
