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 It has been replaced by propaganda presenting the child as a vector of the pandemic.”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.😆
