People make mistakes all the time. Horrible mistakes. Horrific mistakes. At each an every point, the very best thing you can do is stop making mistakes, apologize genuinely, and fix it. Many people bought all the lies; and many people sold them. If you hope to see that stop, this is exactly how it will look.
Can this apology and candor fix the damage? No, not really. But it's also exactly what is needed to stop the further, accelerating lie-driven destruction of the world.
You don't have to be "Oh, it's ok, no worries." But dammit, this is encouraging. THIS IS THE GREAT AWAKENING.
That's how we find out how sincere this apology is.
It might very well not be followed by action, although I have to, at a minimum, think it will at least make future fearmongering much more difficult, notably less likely at this particular outlet.
And even still, even this editor does not become a veritable hammer for the truth, this is still a big, notable, crack in the damn of lies that has created our present world of utter insanity and tyranny.
Wow, half the post on this thread are shill posts - people arguing that abetting murder doesn't matter if you tell mommy you didn't mean it and you're sorry and now you want to go back out and play.
Please do share what "action to undo the damage" this newspaper editor must take, beyond telling the world the truth, will make his apology "acceptable" in your judgement, dear hard hearted neo pharisee :-)
yep, this dudes apology won't mean jack shit unless we see him act to stop the scamdemic evil he helped create. Even then he will still be punished for his part in it.
We don't have complement the guy. But isn't this guy doing our side a world of good by pointing out that it is all propaganda? Don't we want more of them to start calling it bad propaganda?
Don't we try to red-pill people all the time? Well maybe this guy has just been red-pilled. And OP wants to hang him?
I seriously wonder if ANYONE commenting on this actually followed up and listened to or read hsi statement.
I cannot hear anything in the "apology" that actually refers to Bild's coverage of the Covid19 pandemic. Nothing.
His actual statement says (assuming the translation is accurate):
To the millions of children in this country for whom our society is responsible, I want to express here what neither our government nor our Chancellor dares tell you. We ask you to forgive us. When a state steals the rights of a child, it must prove that by doing so, it protects him against concrete and imminent danger. This proof has never been provided. It has been replaced by propaganda presenting the child as a vector of the pandemic.”
Forgive us for this policy which, for a year and a half, has made you victims of violence, neglect, isolation, and loneliness.”
“We persuaded our children that they were going to murder their grandma if they dared to be what they are, children. Or if they met their friends. None of this has been scientifically proven.”
I mean, if you actually IGNORE the headlines that assert that he (and the paper) are apologizing for THEIR coverage, and listen to the actual words, you would come away with a completely different conclusion:
He is apologizing to the Children of Germany for what the Chancellor, and the Government, has been doing for the past 18 months. He is apologizing, because they will not.
He says “we”, which ordinarily would make for a weasel apology, but in this case, I think it is both a) quite clear as a penitent self-implication, and b) a much more devastating indictment of the far further reaching conspiracy of lies which he unambiguously admits to being a shamefully guilty party of.
No, it’s certainly not a sniveling apology - it’s a genuine and public coming clean of just how horrifically, destructively wrong the entire collusive DS/OWG/media conspiracy has been on this all, himself and his organization certainly not excepted.
Again, this is exactly how the Great Awakening was going to have to begin.
Now what are we going to see come of it? Will he be destroyed as an example to the others? Will he start a chain reaction? I don’t claim to know. But this statement itself is nothing but an unmitigated reason for additional optimism.

Agreed.
himself and his organization certainly not excepted
Probably correct, although I'm not fluent in German and I don't know anything about what kind of coverage Bild has been doing except for a few big stories about charging the CCP with crimes and Attacking Merkel.
He says “we”,
Just curious. Have ever been in a position where you FELT collective guilt, collective responsibility, even though you were NOT the person who did the crime, or mistake, but felt responsible as a member of a larger group that collectively WAS responsible?
I have. On many occasions, actually. (I'm a human being, and what has been happening to human beings for millenia, and what happens every day, is something I certainly feel responsible for.)
I see him coming from that angle, more than from "Our newspaper has been spreading propaganda, and I apologize". It may be both, but I find the almost blanket focus on the latter, and virtual ignoring of the former, to be problematic and shoddy journalism.
I genuinely appreciate your attention to detail and accuracy. I think we’re likely of reasonably similar mind on this here, however I can’t be bothered to parse it any further… because I truly was indeed just going off the headlines in the first place.😆

Apology followed by action to undo the damage that was caused. That is the only acceptable apology.
Yes, for sure.

Troubling take. Perhaps ponder New Testament stories including The Prodigal Son and the story of vicious pharisee Saul who became Apostle Paul.

Very well said, I agree.
