2 new words that have been added to our vocabulary lately are ‘misinformation’ …..and ‘disinformation’. Apparently one letter can make a huge difference! Misinformation ….. according to the dictionary ….. means wrong information given by mistake or misunderstanding. It is not designed to mislead but does anyway! Disinformation has a rather more sinister connotation because it deliberately gives false information. It may add to the truth ….. subtract from the truth ….. or completely make up a ‘new truth’. You may recognise these concepts from your childhood. What did we used to call them? Oh that’s right ….. LIES! One thing we all probably learned from it is that the truth always wins in the end.
