Seems like you forgot the Bild Zeitung, the worst piece of media out there (comparable to the Sun I've heard):

It is the best-selling European newspaper and has the sixteenth-largest circulation worldwide. Bild has been described as "notorious for its mix of gossip, inflammatory language, and sensationalism" and as having a huge influence on German politicians.

They also bought a lot of other services, see this list, seems like it's not maintained anymore but still.

Let's also not forget the time that Mathias Döpfner stole the German election in 2021 so that the FDP could screw over the coalition, see here:

Zwei Tage vor der Bundestagswahl soll er Reichelt gedrängt haben: "Please Stärke die FDP. Wenn die sehr stark sind, können sie in Ampel so autoritär auftreten, dass die platzt und dann Jamaika funktioniert."
