Politico, the go-to political news website for D.C. insiders, is under fire from the left after the Washington Post reported that the company's new German owner wants to focus on "nonpartisan" journalism and once sent an email appearing to endorse former President Donald Trump for re-election in 2020.

Mathias Döpfner is a billionaire media mogul and the new owner of Politico after his publishing company, Axel Springer, bought the website and its affiliate sites in a $1 billion deal last year. In an interview with the Washington Post, Döpfner said he's concerned that American media has become too polarized and sees an opportunity for Politico to "prove that being nonpartisan is actually the more successful positioning."

In the email, Döpfner reportedly asked his associates, "Do we all want to get together for an hour in the morning on November 3 and pray that Donald Trump will again become President of the United States of America?”

According to the Washington Post, Döpfner argued that Trump's policies on five key issues personally important to the CEO were correct — namely that Trump defended "free democracies" against Russia and China; pushed NATO allies to pay their obligated dues; pursued "tax reforms"; achieved peace deals in the Middle East; and challenged big tech monopolies. A sixth issue where Döpfner reportedly thought Trump fell short was tackling climate change.
