The hatred shown by some of the papers for large segments of the public is terrifying.

Unpatriotic? I don't think it's patriotic in any sense to con the citizens of your country into voting for economic sanctions on their own country, and 'dividing and ruling' the country into near break-up, while living in nice little tax havens elsewhere like most of these media owners do.

Fortunately, the nutter who wants to nuke Germany will have no chance of getting near the nuclear button; but I do worry that the newspaper extremism may incite violence in some unstable people against 'Bremoaners' as it has already been doing against migrants. Note that neither the Mail nor the Express writer had the guts to sign their name to their piece. No accountability.
