I get your point. It's that German media is paying attention to how Jon is portrayed in good light. I call bullshit on your argument that this good light is bullshit. I say it's not, the facts above are facts.
Regarding Jon's rockstar life in 80's, or even his whatever deeds later, it doesn't change the fact he is happily married. Obviously no saint, but also obviously to me not a serial cheater. Who are we to be moral verticals here?
Generally I don't get the need to spit on everything positive, no matter how objectively sound it is. Jon is model boy of rock and roll and he successfully built his image on his objective qualities (no hard drugs, no excess of dirty laundry, happily married). I don't see a problem with that.
I see more problems in his behaviour around 2010's, he was obnoxious, and part of the reason for Richie's leaving. It seems today he is softer than in those days, with less ego and more retrospect. It doesn't mean he is not calculated brilliant businessman turning his own weakness to PR material (voice). But not everything is negative and cynical.
