They also did a hit piece on Greta Thunberg for supporting Palestinians in their fight against Israel's extremists government.

The German Right is on the rise once again.

#DerSpiegel is an age-old, respected, leftist (Social-Democratic) weekly.

You are wrong in this part of your assesment.

The huge rise of the right in #Germany, in the former #Communist states before #Reunification by contrast is a fact.

It is also a fact that at least almost a million people have been demonstrations in virtually all towns this past week.
The demos had to be closed prematurely in #Hamburg and #Munich due to severe overcrowding.
Biggest demos in..

@HistoPol seems like they are catering to the far right, anyhow an ill-advised cover given the atmosphere

@retrohondajunki

I can see your point based on cover, however following the news cycle at the time, I'd say most media had this bottom line.
In retrospect, her statement might have come months too early, considering the pending ruling on the and the role of the army in it.

Is DerSpiegel considered “leftist" in the same way that CNN is in the US? In other words, incorrectly?

@freediverx
A good question.
I'm not sure what #CNN is anymore nowadays. 😉

Re/ #DerSpiegel, I'm not an avid reader. However, it is not "leftist" in the sense of "socialist" or even "communist", but definitely left-of-center.
I checked on the long German Wikipedia article.*

Only once in the journal's long history there seem to have been #antisemtic allegations. (2006) However, the #German Press watchdog cleared the publication. (Furthermore,..

...I did quite a bit of reading on #Echnaton myself and immediately had the same base idea: he invented #monotheism.)

Finally, #DerSpiegel is one of #GERMANY's trend-setting media (#Leitmedien.)

As I said, most mainstream media shared the same assessment of #GretaThunberg at the time.
So, no, it is not fostering right-wing extremism.
However, it definitely is not one of its best covers and the subtitle is too ballyhooed/Yellow Press style.
