I think you are over thinking it.
There are plenty of real history books and they already did plenty of revisionism in some of them, history is always written by the victors..
The point of these reissues is not to rewrite any history, it's meant to bring back some sentiment of how people experienced it in the media in those days. To remember that the war happened and try to remember because the entire generation is slowly dying out. (and in Ww1's case, already has died out save for some that were a baby then)
Them news papers aren't going to re-write old articles in old dutch language, they are barely able to write modern new articles without spelling mistakes.
Are they picking selective articles , sure, but that's not revisionism at all.
