re: POLITICO has never been a beneficiary of government programs or subsidies—not one cent

If they weren’t receiving money, why are they so pissed that their money had been cut off?

Why would subscription be paid through USAID? Wouldn't subscription be paid through the agency and departments that have the subscriptions?
What if people with USAID purchased a couple of subscriptions themselves?

Literally none of these jackals are capable of honesty. They think if NASA buys millions in subscriptions or they get money from a USAID funded NGO, they get to look Americans in the eye and say they didn’t take “govt grants”.

Ugh.
Just call a spade a spade for once. You don’t have to shill anymore. This isn’t the party you fell in love with when you were in college.

Lets say Exxon is paying for all its employees to get free subscriptions to some oil & gas magazine. They decide to end that program. You don't think the magazine would be upset that they are losing all of that money from the subscriptions?

Just bringing some friendly debate to the board. You are right though - it's not the same party as it used to be. They have definitely moved me more toward the right than I was several years ago.

Yeah this just means some subscription in the entirety of the fed govt we legit paid by the employer of the employee, but Politico was also getting millions from an NGO for "subscriptions"!

> $30,000 per subscription? A 59 yearly subscription is reasonable. What they were doing is fraud.
Come on Mickey. You are gay and a liberal. You aren’t stupid.

White House says it will cancel $8 million in Politico subscriptions after a false right-wing conspiracy theory spreads
here's the headline to the article that Mickey is sharing, where, once again, CNN fails to actually report objective news and instead makes themselves the arbiter of what is and isnt truth
what makes it a "false right wing conspiracy"? well, the fact that we said so!
frick out of here.

They can demonstrate this by thriving once USAID money is removed.
Good luck

You're thinking of a personal subscription. Think of it as a law firm paying for a Westlaw subscription for all 30 of its attorneys to use. That's going to be thousands of dollars because it is based on the number of users who get access.
quote:
In September 2023, a staff assistant for the Center for Environment, Energy, and Infrastructure—part of USAID’s Bureau for Development, Democracy, and Innovation—purchased a subscription to E&E for $20,000. According to E&E, prices for its professional subscription packages typically start in the upper four-figure range and vary based on how many users have access to a subscription. Another subscription to E&E was purchased in September 2024 for $24,000 by the Center for Climate Positive Development—an office within USAID’s Bureau for Resilience and Food Security.

Exxon is a private corp that can spend 20 percent of its revenue on subscriptions if it wants. No one cares but the shareholders.
Govt agencies are TAXPAYER FUNDED. Subscriptions to a biased “””news””” agency.. that is always sympathetic to the people buying those subscriptions (what a coincidence).
Are you really schilling for the us gov subsidizing a news agency? Effectively making it state funded media?
That what you want? You want this admin to purchase subscriptions to fox content?

He’s heard it from some of his programming and he is just regurgitating it on command.
He really doesn’t. And that’s sad.

Look at their wording. They received over 8 million in SUBSCRIPTIONS not subsidies. Lol

So there are 2 options here: (and both not good for Democrats):
1. Politico is straight up lying and their should be severe penalties for it
2. Politico is telling the truth and the US AID is nothing but money laundering. So the next step is finding out who DID receive that money.
It should be easy to find out and both side should cooperate. US AID dept will have record of when it was paid and Politico bank should have record of whether it is there or not.
