Does it? I guess all the media outcry and that she was called back by her own party was also based on a false premise?

As was pointed out in the Spiegel article once you cut through the "outrage"

What Spiegel article?

she was calling for something in the media that Saxony journalists already have themselves as part of their own charter,

What has Saxony to do with it?
As a matter of fact the representatives of the media in Lower Saxony felt that they were supposed to sign a self censor agreement.

So since she was argueing for integration which you want, and against a religious state which you don't want then how can your statement remain when she is in agreement with you and you are objecting to the very things you are calling for???????

First of all, who brought that crucifix issue into this debate? I did not. So why are you referring to this now? I never even mentioned it.
Second arguing for integration is one thing. To make the media write only positively about a certain ethnic group is not arguing but simply glossing over realities. Why should a newspaper whitewash things just because immigrants have been involved? Again extra rights for them? Being untouchable for the media while they can write what they want about every native German? This is not integration! It's censorship and whitewashing of realities.
Maybe we should ask ourselves why there is supposedly a need to do so? Is it that certain people appear more often in the negative news than they should according to their numbers?
