What has me most worried is that in Germany the anti-since movement is undermined, used, pushed, financed?? by more or less all problematic/extremist right wing movements (ultra conservatives, Neo-Nazis, Reichsbürger, all not the same but often with a lot of overlap).

Worse may people getting swept up in the movement due to mistrust in the government and health system often don't realize this, starting to repeat right wing propaganda while position themself as everything but right wing.

Noticeable is also that as far as I can tell there are organized people spreading this misinformation using expertise about how to best manipulate people. For example thy intentionally take easy to misunderstand since "results" related to Covid and twist them using "broken" (i.e. outright wrong) statistics which for a person not knowing anything about statistics "seem ok/valid". While there are some cases which might have been mistakes many clearly are not. Furthermore the way "fake news" pop up indicates (for me, I didn't to to deep research) that this people do understand exactly what they do. I.e. they look for the best ways to disproof they content and then pre-empty create "fake news" to discredit the sources which would be used for this arguments. Or at least this is how I perceive it.

At the same time the established media does a horrible job, instead of properly factual reporting about this problems they put the people tricked in the same pot as the people tricking them and the people taking advantage of the situation. By discrediting all the involved people as extremist right wing and similar they denounce and discredit many people which just have been tricked pushing them further into it and loosing more trust. Especially there is a large amount of "moderate" people which have/had reasonable alternative ideas about how to approaches to handling Covid (like actually reasonable, potentially better then what the government did, especially around fall last year). But this people are repeatedly tricked in some but not all of there arguments by "fake news" and now, the press they already don't trust much discredit all they say because supposedly they are Nazis. (They are not, but they let themself be manipulated by them.)

Through in every case I looked into the press was noticeable more honest then alternative sources.

But more honest sadly doesn't mean fully honest.

The fact that especially some of the state payed (but supposedly independent) press has a record of not fully honest (and sometimes outright deceptive) reporting doesn't help. Similar is true for the non state payed press but in other ways (e.g. their involvement in the copyright reform which offended many young people).

For example one of the first larger demo against the covid measurements taken in berlin consisted of the demo moving through the city followed by an announcement. The press reported the lowest estimate of people involved by the moving demo but made it look like it is the number of all of it and also didn't say they took the lower estimated. But on the demo announcement probably twice to thrice of the amount of people had been involved. So not very honest. But the people behind of the demo where worse as they overestimated the amount of people by a factor of 10 or more and used the reasoning "that the press numbers are clearly wrong" to trick people into believing it. Then they took certain events related to the police out of order and represented a moderate reasonable action of the police as something completely different, using this to further undermine the credibility of the government.
