Die Welt has some articles in English, but most of it's articles are simply bad works of journalism, and the internet presence is even worse. Only occasionally they impress with a good essay.
And no, I can't say that Die Welt is a prime newspaper. And if you would compare the daily output by them with that of Der Spiegel, you would see that Die Welt is much, more more to the left than Der Spiegel. But the main argument is the inferior journalistic quality, and especially their populistic style in selecting and presenting their articles. I would not say the printed version is much better.
The FAZ (Frankfurter Allgeimene Zeitung) has an acceptable print edition and often is referred to as the German equivalent to the British Times, and Die Zeit often has good essays with deeper analsis as well, but it less actual , also both are german exclusively.
Some regional newapapers worth to be mentioned, but all of them play no role oin the itnernational internet market.
And you still have not specified your criticism of Follath's article. If you have background info and knowledge on the cultural background info that would correct him, I would be interested to hear that. As I said, for me these mystical background things especially on the Jewish part were somewhat new, I do not know much about Judaism that goes beyond popular knowledge. Maybe CaptainHaplo would be the more competent discussion partner for you then, since he apparently has a live personal impression of Netanjahu from having met with him.

That implies there is no diversity in america, and no wider spectrum of political opinions that goes beyond "this" and "that". If it is not far right, it is not American, that is. I think that scenario can - and must - be questioned - even when a certain kind of Republicans love to imply that they are the better Americans and thus should have a monopole for the presidency.
