[Star Wars] Count Dooku was the head of state of the Separatist Alliance, and yet he regularly went around the galaxy with a red lightsaber, training apprentices and acting as a Sith. Was the general public aware he was a Sith lord? Why didn't the Jedi Order make this publicly available information?

Training Grievous (and Ventress and his other apprentice in the Clone Wars tv series), using force powers, giving direct military orders to generals, and so many other things Dooku regularly did seem to make it inconceivable that at the very least, the Separatist leadership wouldn't know he was a Sith. Did they simply not care? How could his relatively open use of the dark side of the force not cause issues for the separatist cause, even in just a propaganda sense?

To the vast majority of the galaxy, "Jedi" and "Sith" are merely two diametrically opposing philosophies about life and the nature of the universe. Think of Christianity and Islam in your own world. They both believe in the same consciousness, whether you want to call it God or The Force, but believe different things about it. 

Even if Count Dooku identified himself as a Sith, 99.99% of the galaxy is going to go "meh" and move on. So he follows a hokey ancient religion and holds a certain set of beliefs, who cares? The Jedi certain care, but simply holding a set of beliefs isn't a crime, and Count Dooku could parade up and down the streets of Coruscant while waving his red lightsaber, and the Jedi couldn't do anything about it. 

They've certainly tried to defame Count Dooku, and even went as far as to stage a coup against Senator Palpatine because of his beliefs, but that's just what one large religious force did, and it certainly doesn't represent the entire galaxy's views on the subject.
