"Peter Thiel Snags Top Prize from Politico’s Owner"
Axel Springer honors Thiel - just doesn't mention the "$50 million he gave the CEO's son".
"Here’s an idea for a media company: don’t give your top prize to a billionaire who bankrupted one media outlet & is funding a machine to harass the rest."
"Axel Springer journalists with ethics & integrity should head for the nearest exit."

Axel Springer, the company that owns Politico, awards its top prize to...Antichrist lecturer Peter Thiel.
No mention of the $50 million Thiel gave the son of Axel Springer's CEO to start a venture capital fund.
But the CEO lauds Thiel's "courage and non-conformity."
