Claudia Wittig, MdL, wrote that she was harassed today by ZDF reporters and criticized the reporting as, in her opinion, deceitful, one-sided, and designed to provoke outrage. She attended an event of a local peace alliance, to which all parties in the state parliament had been invited. BSW and AfD had confirmed their attendance; among the guests were Gabriele Gysi and Tino Eisbrenner. According to Wittig, reporters were waiting for her with a running camera at her private vehicle, even though she had declined an interview in writing. For the article, a photo of her and Ulrich Siegmund is to be reused, which originally was part of a group photo with other leading candidates. Siegmund did not participate in the event. Wittig accused the media of primarily scandalizing a supposed closeness to the AfD and not reporting on the content of the event. #Journalismus #Meinungsfreiheit #Faktenchecker (translated)

Simon Betschinger accused Professor Karl Lauterbach of wanting to explain to the German petty bourgeoisie that Tesla poses no threat to Volkswagen. As a counterargument, Betschinger pointed out that the world's best-selling electric car in 2025 was the Tesla Model Y, with around 1,085,521 units sold. He described the situation as grotesque and wrote that the German industry had been left behind because the state had created bureaucratic structures that stifled entrepreneurship. He also mentioned German envy and a loss of touch with reality. #Tesla #Volkswagen #Deutschland (translated)

Stefan Homburg turned to Politfacts, Ulrich Siegmund, and Faktist and labeled a statement as a blatant lie. He accused a Green politician of posing as a fact-checker and wrote that it has been customary for decades for the federal government to grant loans and later forgive them. #Politik #Faktenchecker #Lügen (translated)

Critical Cat wrote that in Kontrafunk, Tang, the managing director of the NGO OIDAC, which has been fact-checked by Tagesschau and Rabbit Hole, spoke. She explained that in her statement to ARD, she insisted that the numbers were collected according to the OSCE method. ARD intentionally omits this information and does not mention the OSCE standard, Critical Cat wrote. The contribution is misleading and should be deleted. #Faktencheck #Medienkompetenz #ARD (translated)

Critical Cat wrote that ARD fact-checkers presented burning churches and vandalism as an invention of a Christian NGO. At the same time, the author accused the public broadcaster of reaching a new low in hate against Christians and referred to a link to the fact check in the comments. https://t.co/yJJ1OdNZwS #FakeNews #Christen #Vandalismus (translated)

Apollo News wrote that the Tagesschau categorized the more than 30 reported arson attacks on German churches in a fact check and pointed out that often only minor damage had occurred and that in no case had a Christian-hostile motive been established. The affected monitoring body referred to this as "biased journalism." https://t.co/4HiscXw0K8 #Faktencheck #Journalismus #Kirchen (translated)

The author expressed surprise that many people in his field, in his opinion, fell for the panic-mongering about the "lung plague." He disagreed with the objection that the disease was particularly dangerous compared to Corona and wrote that there was no evidence of an outbreak of the lung plague in Russia. #Lungenpest #Faktencheck #Panikmache #RU (translated)

The public broadcasting blog wrote that the fact-checkers of Tagesschau explained that arson attacks on Christian churches are not related to anti-Christian sentiment, as the religious affiliation of the perpetrators is not recorded. #OerrBlog https://t.co/pnXbc3CXK2 #Religionsfreiheit #Christen #Faktencheck (translated)

The author accused the publicly funded Correctiv of having searched the NIUS editorial system with allegedly stolen access credentials and having looked for sources instead of reporting the crime. He did not call it a fact-check, but rather an attack on press freedom, and asked when Joachim Steinhöfel would take over the case. #Pressefreiheit #Faktencheck #Journalismus (translated)

Ganesha wrote that the AfD sits in the middle because this is provided for in the rules of procedure. As a practical side effect, he mentioned that interjections from the large AfD block were received more directly at the speaker's podium. https://t.co/p1NB2kpvNH #Faktencheck #Politik #AfD (translated)

Maurice Höfgen wrote that opponents of the socialization of housing in Berlin warned of an end to private new construction. In his fact check, he referred to this warning as a myth and argued that large real estate corporations do not build, but buy for shareholders instead of for tenants. https://t.co/hFct2dR7Ma #Wohnen #Berlin #Immobilien (translated)

Der Gerichtsbeschluss bestätigt, dass die Behauptung von Katja Wolf, wir hätten verlangt, mit Björn Höcke in eine Regierung zu gehen, nichts weiter als eine dreiste Lüge war. Damit fällt der nächste Versuch, dem BSW mit Unterstellungen und Falschbehauptungen im Vorfeld der Landtagswahlen zu schaden, wie ein Kartenhaus in sich zusammen. Wir hatten die Thüringer BSW-Fraktion aufgefordert, Herrn Voigt die Unterstützung zu entziehen, weil er nach der KI-Affäre und dem Verlust seines Doktortitels seine Glaubwürdigkeit verloren hat. Unser Vorschlag war, an Voigts Stelle einen angesehenen überparteilichen Ministerpräsidenten zu finden, der aus der Brandmauer-Sackgasse ausbricht und mit wechselnden Mehrheiten regiert. Es spricht Bände, dass der MDR unserer Aufforderung zur Richtigstellung bisher nicht nachgekommen ist und auf Zeit spielt. Dass ausgerechnet in einer Sendung mit dem Titel „Fakt ist“ eine solche Fake News nicht nur unwidersprochen bleibt, sondern auch nach ihrem Bekanntwerden nicht korrigiert wird, zeigt, wie wenig den sonst so umtriebigen Faktencheckern beim öffentlich-rechtlichen Rundfunk an Wahrheitsfindung gelegen ist, wenn diese nicht den eigenen Narrativen dient. Es ist gut, dass diese Fake News durch den Gerichtsbeschluss nun vor den Wahlen in Berlin und Mecklenburg-Vorpommern als solche entlarvt wurde. Die Wähler können sich sicher sein, dass der Kurs, den wir für Thüringen vorgeschlagen haben und in Sachsen-Anhalt verfolgen, genauso in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern und Berlin gilt: Die Brandmauer ist gescheitert. Gespräche mit der AfD und parlamentarische Zusammenarbeit: ja. Koalition: nein. #FakeNews #Thüringen #Landtagswahlen

Die Lage am Morgen. Das Pentagon prüft, bis zu 40.000 Soldaten aus Europa abzuziehen, vor allem aus Deutschland, und die Mitteilung über das Telefonat, das der Kanzler am selben Tag mit Trump führte, verliert darüber kein Wort. Am Nachmittag legt ein polizeibekannter Afghane Feuer an der Synagoge in Wuppertal; am Abend erklärt Friedrich Merz den Antisemitismus zur perfidesten Form der Ausländerfeindlichkeit, als wären die Juden in diesem Land die Ausländer. Derweil zahlt das Forschungsministerium knapp drei Millionen Euro für ein »Fake-O-Meter«, das Wähler vor der Wahl vor falschen Informationen bewahren soll. In Mecklenburg-Vorpommern steht die CDU bei 6 %; diesen Faktencheck haben die Wähler ohne Fördergeld erledigt. [M.L.] Die komplette Ausgabe jeden Morgen kostenlos: https://t.co/uIYlPYaAPK.
