  • mostly false Security
    “Bei allen von Merz genannten Vorfällen war nachweislich schon vor des Kanzlers Besuch bei Miosga geklärt, dass Putin oder Russland jedenfalls nicht dahintersteckt.”

    CORRECTIV: größtenteils falsch. Nur der Frankfurter Drohnenvorfall war zum Zeitpunkt der Sendung geklärt (Hobby-Pilot). Für München liefen weiter Ermittlungen gegen Unbekannt. Kopenhagener Polizei: noch keine endgültigen Schlussfolgerungen. Merz sprach zudem lediglich von Vermutungen.

  • misleading Security
    “Wir haben aktuell Verteidigungsetats in Europa, nur der europäischen Nato-Staaten, die sind zusammen höher als der ganze russische Staatshaushalt.”

    ZDF heuteCheck: In nominaler Umrechnung stimmt die Aussage. Kaufkraftbereinigt (KKP) übersteigen Russlands Militärausgaben 2024 mit 461,6 Mrd. USD die der europäischen NATO-Staaten (406 Mrd. USD KKP). Der nominale Vergleich suggeriert eine Überlegenheit, die kaufkraftbereinigt nicht gegeben ist.

  • misleading Social policy
    “Die Durchschnittsrente betrage laut Zahlen der Rentenversicherung 1.200 Euro – das liege unterhalb der Armutsschwelle.”

    Offizielle Zahlen weisen je nach Berechnung durchschnittliche Nettorenten von 1.102 bis 1.241 Euro aus (Männer 1.608 Euro, Frauen 1.237 Euro nach vollständiger Erwerbsbiografie); der genannte Wert bezieht auch Kleinstrenten mit sehr kurzen Beitragszeiten ein und verzerrt damit das Bild. Der Vergleich mit der Armutsschwelle ignoriert zudem, dass Rentner:innen oft über Zusatzeinkommen verfügen – das durchschnittliche Haushaltsnettoeinkommen von Senior:innen (2.769 Euro) liegt deutlich über der Schwelle (1.378 Euro).

  • false Foreign policy
    “Über eine Million Tote an den Fronten in der Ukraine”

    CORRECTIV: unbelegt. Seriöse Schätzungen (Lost Armour, WSJ/westliche Geheimdienste) gehen von 238.000-300.000 getöteten Soldaten beider Seiten aus. OHCHR dokumentierte ~12.600 zivile Opfer. Weder Wagenknecht noch Alice Schwarzer nannten eine Quelle.

  • misleading Foreign policy
    “ZDF-Reporter Elmar Theveßen habe sich gefreut, dass in diesem Krieg [in der Ukraine] weiter Menschen sterben – 'die gute Nachricht ist, es wird nicht am ersten Tag schon der Frieden ausbrechen in dieser Region'.”

    Wagenknecht ließ die entscheidende Fortsetzung des Zitats weg: Theveßen bezog sich darauf, dass die US-Unterstützung für die Ukraine nicht sofort eingestellt werde, damit die Ukraine aus einer 'Position der Stärke' verhandeln könne – nicht auf eine Freude über die Fortsetzung des Kriegsleids. Das ZDF räumte ein, die Formulierung sei 'verwirrend' gewesen, der Gesamtkontext mache die eigentliche Aussage aber eindeutig.

  • mostly true Budget
    “Wir geben 90 Milliarden für Waffen aus.”

    Mimikama hatte die Aussage zunächst als Teil einer Anschuldigung prorussischer Desinformation durch das BSW als falsch eingestuft, musste aber am 30.07.2024 eine redaktionelle Richtigstellung veröffentlichen: Die 90-Milliarden-Zahl entspricht der offiziellen NATO-Meldung der Bundesregierung von Juni 2024 (90,6 Mrd. Euro). Ungenau ist lediglich die Zuspitzung auf 'Waffen' – die NATO-Zahl umfasst den gesamten Verteidigungshaushalt inklusive Personal, Betrieb, Sondervermögen und Ukraine-Hilfen, nicht nur Rüstungsgüter.

  • false Migration
    “Wir sehen an den Zahlen: noch nicht einmal ein Prozent derer, die einen Asylantrag stellen, haben auch ein Asylrecht.”

    Die bereinigte Schutzquote lag 2023 bei rund 70 Prozent, wenn neben der Asylanerkennung auch Flüchtlingsschutz nach der Genfer Konvention, subsidiärer Schutz und Abschiebungsverbote mitgezählt werden; selbst die unbereinigte Quote lag bei rund 51,8 Prozent. Martin Glasenapp vom European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights bezeichnete die Ein-Prozent-Zahl als 'reine Fantasiezahl' ohne empirische Grundlage.
