Axios (website)Axios – The website/news org is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC now. Currently the Axios link is just a redirect to the article for Vardar. The pageview statistics page shows that Axios (website) is the primary usage.  Bait30  Talk 2 me pls? 18:05, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Axios's firing of journalist Ben Montgomery

[edit]

In March 2023 Axios fired journalist Ben Montgomery for calling a press release by Ron DeSantis "propaganda." https://floridapolitics.com/archives/595786-axios-reporter-ben-montgomery-fired-after-calling-gov-desantis-press-release-propaganda/ 173.88.246.138 (talk) 05:27, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I did some cleanup to address the tag added by RatedPending (talk · contribs). I removed the entirety of the large edit by brand-new editor AC1BT (talk · contribs), though the NYTimes refs should be considered for inclusion. I also removed content that was unreferenced or referenced only to Axios' own publications.

The focus on it's early history, especially 2017, could use a more thorough review and cleanup. --Hipal (talk) 17:28, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I just trimmed out a bit more puffery, but I think this is in a pretty reasonable state now, so I removed the tag. StereoFolic (talk) 16:03, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lying about trump

[edit]

Many people are talking about the huge lies that Axios is telling about how Trump “is no longer calling the 2020 election rigged.” This doesn’t look like leaning left at all. 2600:1700:8DF0:3A10:84BC:34A9:91EE:B630 (talk) 18:06, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I assume you're talking about this. It's not our place to decide whether Axios (or any outlet) leans left or right; we report the assessments of reliable sources that comment on such matters. We could consider describing this controversy in the article, but IMO it seems pretty minor and unlikely to have sustained importance. StereoFolic (talk) 18:18, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Damage control public relations editing

[edit]

It maybe necessary to review the article and "damage control" matters may need to be restored to ensure NPOV. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/wikipedia-paid-editing-pr-facebook-nbc-axios_n_5c63321be4b03de942967225 and also, https://www.spin.com/2019/03/wikipedia-editor-axios-nbc-chuck-todd-jonathan-swan/ which is a bit of a spin off from that story. Looking through edit history, one user questioned the source, but this article was written by a senior reporter, not a contributor, so WP:HUFFPO might be a good source.

Ah, makes sense. My eyebrow was raised while reading the article so I went to the talk page. I've taken a few shots at toning it down. 104.232.119.107 (talk) 14:21, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
