    1. Oh, like you've never forged a divorce certificate in order to sleep with an underling in a workplace that's wildly tolerant of sexual harassment. Or: some thoughts on Axel Springer emerging as a force in America media.pic.twitter.com/GHBCKNnNqq

        2. Ben Smith's typically excellent column yesterday on Axel Springer focused on the toxic workplace culture and only made glancing reference to the company's culture of ideological conformity, which is also inimical to good journalism.

        3. There's an ideological framework of centrist liberalism (articulate by Jonathan Chait or the Atlantic) which is attuned to free speech threats from the extreme right & extreme left but is blind to the problem of extreme centrists (Axel Springer being center right in USA).

        4. Axel Springer explicitly expects its journalists to be loyal to company ideology (pro-EU, pro-capitalist, pro-Israeli nationalism). In regular media, this is usually done informally (hiring Ivy League types for whom this is default mode) but AS has actual ideological rulespic.twitter.com/lmThhBnQlV
