Apollo News sounds like German Fox News. But it looks like the citation behind "distorted beyond recognition" is itself misleading. The fact-check admits:
> At a discussion event, Green Party politician Katrin Göring-Eckardt advocated for networks where East Germans who have problems with right-wing relatives can register
The rest of the cited fact check searches for technicalities to diminish Apollo's conclusion that the politician wanted "denunciation of relatives". In my reckoning, the politician's rhetoric was not "distorted beyond recognition"; rather, the consequence of their rhetoric was highlighted.
IMHO, I wouldn't dismiss semi-reputable news sources so easily. I think it's valuable to hear the other side (https://ground.news/blindspot https://ground.news/blindspot) especially when the fact-checkers/media on my side prefer that I just swallow the party line.
