Facts on Circulation Undated

 * The article states the circulation is 209,000 without reference nor year. I found a source from BBC that listed the circulation at 270,000 from 2006.    Does anyone have a more recent source?  DutchTreat (talk) 14:34, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Hatemongering against Turks and Turkey
There should a full paragraph as this "newspaper" is notorious for trying to incite hate against Turks and Turkey at every opportunity. As much of Zionist Axel Springer Group's so called "journalist media" which is actually a propaganda machine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.231.101.95 (talk) 14:15, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Frankfurter Rundschau?
I am surprised the Frankfurter Rundschau is listed as main competitor. It's not in the same league. Pkoppenb (talk) 10:39, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

Moderation of Webpage
On the discussion page of Israelische Soldaten stürmen Krankenhaus im Gaza-Streifen one online panelist with pseudonym "Adorno" wrote: "Vielleicht will das Israelische Militär die Verwundeten im Krankenhaus pflegen."

Before other panelists could weigh in, he already got response from the moderation staff:
 * "Lieber Adorno, es soll sich um einen begrenzten Einsatz auf der Suche nach Leichen von Geiseln der islamistischen Terrororganisation Hamas handeln, teilte das israelische Militär am Donnerstag mit. Lieben Gruß Die WELT-Community-Redaktion" (Quite a lecture/rebuke!)

After that there were responses from two other online penalists: one in favor of "Adorno" and one in favour of WELT. The latter wrote in one post:
 * "Die Babys und Kleinkinder wurden und werden antisemitisch und gewaltverherrlichend gegenüber Juden und Israel erzogen und sind in deren Gesellschaft nichts weiter als zukünftige Terroristen "

And in the second follow-up post this got even practical:
 * " .. All diese Kinder sind eine zukünftige Bedrohung der israelischen Zivilisten. Wenn du das verhindern willst, muss Israel alle Babys und Kleinkinder den Familien wegnehmen und in Heimen oder Pflegefamilien nach westlichen Werten erziehe."

This user didn't get any rebuke from the content moderation. That's a telling example for the very selective stance of "DIE WELT" moderation staff in regard to toxic online comments on their webpage. For even one moderate conversational violation ("Ironie nie!") from someone who's against the political goal of DIE WELT, there's swift rebuke -- but for repeated outrageous content from one who's considered on the right side, there's silence.
