Publisher’s rating: misleading
Ein Foto zeigt, wie Bundeswirtschaftminister Robert Habeck die Blockade seiner Fähre im schleswig-holsteinischen Schlüttsiel im Rahmen von Bauernprotesten beobachtet.
Publisher’s rating: Falsch. Habeck war auf der Fähre, die Personen auf dem Foto stehen alle an Land. In weiteren Videos mit Szenen an der Fähre ist zu erkennen, dass es sich bei dem Mann im Vordergrund nicht um den Grünen-Politiker handelt.
The photo does not show Habeck watching the blockade from shore: the review says he was aboard the ferry and the people in the photo were on land. It identifies the man in the foreground as someone else, matching him to a person in video footage of the attempted storming.

Olaf Scholz' Redenschreiber wollen nicht für ihn schreiben und haben sich vor der Neujahrsansprache krank gemeldet.
Publisher’s rating: Es handelt sich nicht um eine echte Meldung, sondern um eine Glosse, also einen satirischen Text. Ohne einen Hinweis auf den spöttischen Charakter des Beitrags ist dessen Inhalt irreführend.
The review says the claim that all of Olaf Scholz’s speechwriters called in sick was invented as part of a satirical text published by Der Spiegel. Social-media posts and screenshots often omitted the text’s satire label, making it appear to be genuine reporting.
