E&E News / Politico
U.S. center-left
E&E News is a specialty energy-and-environment news service founded in 1998, now owned by POLITICO, which is itself owned by Germany's Axel Springer SE. It is rated left-center in editorial tone but high for factual accuracy, and its coverage of the Trump administration's 2025-2026 deregulatory push at EPA and other agencies has been detailed and largely critical, emphasizing rollbacks, reduced oversight, and staffing cuts.
Owned byAxel Springer SE (German media conglomerate), via its 2021 acquisition of POLITICO; E&E News itself was acquired by POLITICO in 2022
