I’m really starting to hate the term “misinformation”.
Discussion
yeah, whatever happened to the word "deception"?
also, it is literally a mistake to misinform, and "disinform" is also a different thing
misinform means to make a mistake in your information
disinform means to deceive
if i made a mistake, then ok, correct me
if i meant to deceive, let's go to court baby
It's newspeak for "factual but inconvenient to the party."
Disinformation is "factual but dangerous to the party."
Or rather just a story, which has its followers but doesn't have evidence that it is related with reality.
A better word is just "lies".
