You have to understand that some circles of the german internet avantgarde have a beloved Feindbild [1] when in comes to the Spiegel (google "ehemaliges Nachrichtenmagazin" [ironic "former news journal"]). It's not a tabloid and people read it [2]. The online page is clickbait under the fold but the first two/three article will usually offer a good and conscience overview. If that's a virtue is another question. Other sites have less gossip or a different point of view, but the headline articles are usually the same on all major online news outlets nowadays. If you want more serious news maybe faz.net [3] is worth a look.
