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.

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.😆
