Both apologies refer simply to "mistakes". Whose? Why? How did these mistakes happen exactly? What steps are being taken to ensure accountability for these "mistakes"?
We need to hold German media accountable for its anti-Arab racism. We need robust journalistic integrity.

In each case, there were TWO transgressions and only ONE of them was retracted and the subject of an apology. German media can be shamed into retracting offensive and false content but they absolutely refuse to acknowledge that anti-Arab racism shapes their framing.
