The amount of effort the blog put into making sure it was accurate, since this was the only source making the claim, is uncertain. But it isn't guaranteed that they purposely sought out the one news report that said what they wanted it to say and ignored all of the others giving contrary information in an effort to rouse the naive readership into believing such things.
To be fair, it isn't guaranteed they purposely sought this source out to rouse their native readership, but it is guaranteed they ran with the only source claiming it was politically motivated despite a plethora of sources stating the motive was unclear in an effort to rouse their native readership. As Lucie stated, we know their slant. We know their methods. We know at least one result; a DW native reader spreading their misinformation in an attempt to make people believe it.
