People often already know the source of misinformation, where it's coming from. Usually the same people claiming to fight it and reveal the source of it are the ones trying to defer suspicion from themselves and what they are doing to somewhere else, to make it look like it's coming from somewhere or someone else.
Misinformation is false by nature, which is why people don't need explained to them what is true and what is false. They can determine that for themselves.

Mary knows that shy Bob likes Ann, who secretly likes Bob back. Mary likes Bob too. Bob asks Mary about her friend Ann's relationship status.

'Repeat misinformation loudly enough, often enough, and it becomes information', she believed. 'We'll just say "It was Antifa and Black Lives Matter that stormed the Capitol, dressed like Trump supporters", and no matter what they see, they'll say it too, and it will become their truth. ... By the way, the election was stolen.'

When someone alters a Wikipedia article to win a specific argument, anyone who reads the false article before the "error" is corrected suffers from collateral misinformation.
I changed the scientific classification of red foxes last night in order to win an argument with Judy. I hope some stupid High School student didn't suffer from collateral misinformation.
