DISinformation. The difference is that misinformation might or might not be intentional, whereas disinformation is organised intentional misinformation with specific goals in mind.

Not that I blame you for getting it wrong, mind you, since most media outlets consistently do.

Apologies. Late night sloppiness. I support your correction. After I posted it I thought the same thing but couldn’t be arsed changing it.

No worries, I've made worse late night sloppiness mistakes myself. Just last night, I accidentally called Janet Yellen Secretary of State in stead of Secretary of the Treasury.

To make matters worse, I actually looked up whether Yo Yo Ma is a cellist or violinist for the same comment, but neglected to double check Yellen's title while I was on Wikipedia anyway 😄

Respect for Yo Yo Ma the cello player 😀

Just to be clear, is this person different than ‘Yo Mamma’?

I mean… has anyone ever seen them in the same room together?
