Dirk Kurbjuweit, deputy editor-in-chief of Germany\u2019s Der Spiegel magazine for the past 4 years, unwittingly put his foot a mile deep in his mouth this week when he reacted to a letter written by US Ambassador to Berlin Richard Grenell. His reaction presents perhaps the most perfect example of the downfall of news, journalism, the media in general, that we\u2019ve seen so far. Most perfect among very stiff competition.<\/p>\n

After Der Spiegel itself this week \u2018outed\u2019 its award-winning star reporter, Claas Relotius, as someone who had made up many of his lauded articles from scratch, Grenell suggested the magazine, and especially its editorial staff, shouldn\u2019t think they can get away with putting all the blame on just this one guy. He tweeted:<\/p>\n

We value policy criticism. We love a free press. But @Spiegel literally fabricated stories saying people (Americans) were racist & xenophobic. They made up events, details, & lies \u2013 and no editor checked the stories. Every real journalist should be outraged by this. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And he wrote a letter to Der Spiegel, albeit addressed at the \u2018wrong\u2019 editor, Steffen Klussman, who won\u2019t be in the post until after Jan. 1:<\/p>\n

\n

The recent revelations of completely fabricated stories, completely fictional people and fraudulent details in Spiegel<\/em> over the last seven years are very troubling to the US Embassy. These fake news stories largely focused on US policies and certain segments of the American people. It is clear we were targeted by institutional bias<\/b> and we are troubled by the atmosphere that encouraged this recklessness. <\/i><\/p>\n

While Spiegel<\/em>\u2019s anti-American narratives have expanded over the last years, the anti-American bias at the magazine has exploded since the election of President Trump<\/b>. We are concerned that these narratives are pushed by Spiegel<\/em>\u2019s senior leadership and reporters are responding to what the leadership wants. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is where Dirk Kurbjuweit\u2019s foot enters his mouth, stage left, and starts its long journey down:<\/p>\n
