misinformation? just call it lies. reads easier and just as accurate.
The difference is, that with lies, you have to know it is untrue and say it anyway, where with misinformation, there is a possibility that the one telling it believes it is true.
Well that is how I understand the word lying defined: Say something you know is not true in order to manipulate others.
Or again different said: a lie is always misinformation, but misinformation is not always a lie.
Hope that is understandable ๐
That is why I try to think now in terms of disinformation, more than merely misinformation, when it seems intentional.
