Well, the FAZ story mainly says May et al were appallingly briefed and out of their depth, but I haven't seen what the TV news or the tabs have made of it yet.
But a lot of the commentary I have seen so far talks about it as if we were the audience, not the Germans. I think that's wrong, and misleading. But sure, if it's presented as you describe then it's not going to engender any warm feeling.

The BBC have made it the biggest story of the day, headline on every news bulletin. My feeling is that the majority of leave voters won't think "I better vote for someone who gets on well with Junker and Merkel" but will think "fuck Junker and Merkel good on you theresa".
