Axel Springer, the German publishing giant, is buying the semi-carcass of one of Britain's top publishers. And, yes, it bought Politico a year or two ago and is a behemoth in German journalism.
The Telegraph has often been called the "Torygraph" and is considered "Eurosceptic," but it's not populist wingnut trash like the Daily Mail, which had been attempting to buy the paper itself.
Axel Springer head Mathias Döpfner says he wants to expand its reach into the US. Of course, the Daily Mail and its populist wingnut trash have long had a presence here. Building off ownership of Politico, he has an entree to challenge The Guardian's presence here.
