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.😆
