I decided to do some digging into Elpais and turns out your hunch is VERY warranted. They receive a majority of their funding from China affiliated and Pro-China political groups.
Is this a different publication than Spanish El País? El País in Spain is like the Washington Post or maybe The Observer in the UK. What funding do they get from China?
Not saying you’re wrong. There’s plenty of weird funding sources in legacy media. WaPo is funded by Jeff Bezos now. I just always thought of El País as a non-controversial Spanish newspaper.
I said affiliated. Pedro Sanchéz is well known to be highly buddy buddy with Xi Jinping
The political group (Nowadays a composite group) Elpais gets their money from has been overall intensely pro CCP in their approach. I hope this clears up what I mean.
