I agree with you on everything basically.
There are two things at play here, one is misplaced trust. These people are trusting the wrong authority that are feeding them bullshit. Why? They may have had legitimately bad experiences with the sources you and me trust. Or they may just not know one way or the other.
To go along with your example, flying these people to Germany so they can check for themselves whether Angela Merkel is the Chancellor might actually work.
Then there are also people with mental illnesses like schizofrenia. They will not be persuaded either by logical arguments or having the evidence in front of their two eyes.
