Thinformation 

Information that appears meaningful or credible on the surface, but collapses under scrutiny due to lack of depth, rigor, or context. Often confidently cited by people who read the headline, skimmed the abstract, or misunderstood the graph.
"The article sounded convincing, but it was all thinformation — flashy claims with no real evidence behind them."

tinformation

(noun) (1) evidence selected and distorted tendentiously to confuse, mislead, and deceive;
(2) the process of becoming a member of the tinfoil-hat crowd.

Indeed, tinformation may be thought of as a portmanteau of "tinfoil" and "information."
Loose Change is a prime example of tinformation about 9/11.
