Misinformation

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.

collateral misinformation

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.
