Since even a long-established magazine with an extensive documentation department cannot find out where and this was impossible to check; the star reporter himself admitted that he made up most of it. This also applies to small details that he claims to have seen, snippets of scenes in major reports, something lying on the side of the singapore rcs data road, a decorative object in a room, whatever.
And that's the point where I quietly ask, "So what?" and then quickly take cover.
"Der Spiegel" has made the dramatic introduction socially acceptable in the German-speaking media landscape. Now every local correspondent in the depths of central Switzerland is trying to enhance the report from the town hall meeting by describing rumors, noises and moods. How much of this is actually true and what is mainly going on in the writer's head or at least has been enhanced there is an open question.
Nobody asks about it. Because the effect is positive: The description of small, fleeting impressions brings the reader closer to the scene of the event, it gives them orientation in the bigger picture.
