      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

          they may say they're pro-Europe in the abstract but at least as far as EMU goes they're extremely anti- in practice; slandered it as inflationary after the euro's introduction and rabidly opposed to any and all bailouts for overindebted member states

          Usually, but not always. Not too long ago, James Bennet described one of the few explicit ideological precepts of the NYTimes as "pro-capitalism." https://www.huffpost.com/entry/james-bennet-new-york-times-transcript_n_5a8ec6d5e4b077f5bfebfac7 …pic.twitter.com/G8NYETDaCR

          If it is spelled out explicitly, then I do not see the problem. You for example would not want to work at such a place. And I am sure that I as an “extreme centrist” (really not sure how to fix that oxymoronic phrase) would not be welcome at The Nation.

          I'm thinking rigidly centrist maybe? From the context it was used in. The obsessed with both sides being wrong ideology and proving they are above politics.

          All it takes to stop the madness is an adult willing to say: no. Astonishing how rare those are these days. The CEO of Axel Springer is one of the few. Yet another reason I am proud to write for @welt. https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/doepfner-axel-springer-politico-james-kirchick …
