Mathias Priebe wrote that Bärbel Bas' stepdaughter died at the age of 53 at the end of September. He described the loss as sad, but stated that the grief only affects Bas. He called the connection of the death with alleged excessive criticism of Bas dishonest. In his opinion, Bas must come to terms with the situation. Other people must also continue to work, deliver performance, and endure criticism, Priebe wrote. After several weeks, her environment should no longer have to take her feelings into account, least of all the whole country. He also stated that he could no longer bear it when people portrayed themselves as victims. Grief is individual and, in his opinion, not divisible, Priebe wrote. He generally feels sympathy only for people who are close to him. While he knows compassion, he would have failed as a journalist if he had immersed himself in all the fates he had to report on, he wrote. Moreover, he accused many of allowing themselves to be deceived again by socialists, for whom he used a derogatory term. In conclusion, he asked whether Bas had been attacked too harshly. #Priebshow #Trauer #Medienkritik #BärbelBas (translated)
