Comment from the translator:
Spiegel Online did it again..!, one is inclined to say.
This time, however, the other way around. We are all used to the very one-sided reporting by Spiegel [and German main stream media in general]. Last week, however, something remarkably happened. Three stories in Spiegel Online, that are – to some extent – covering the ‘other side’. It started with an article about ‘the chancellery accusing Breedlove’ of ‘exaggerating’ Russia’s military involvement in East Ukraine. They even called it ‘propaganda’. Then they had Helmut Schmidt [former German Chancellor] voice his views, a man who has been calling for rapprochement with Russia and for taking into consideration Russia’s legitimate interests. And now this: Allowing former Prime Minister of Ukraine, Asarow, state his views on the events in Ukraine.Russia Insider
So, does this mean they (German mainstream media) have come to their senses…?
