Calling out misinformation and disinformation

In an impromptu and spontaneous episode I look at two words that have become more and more important in recent times: misinformation and disinformation.

These two words have become more and more prevalent in our everyday lives, especially since the Covid pandemic.

But now more so as certain people with a lot of power deliberately try to mislead us by posting disinformation.

My message to you in this episode is to think about how we can stop this, by calling it out, or by using trusted sources for our information.

– Misinformation is the term to describe getting facts wrong.

– Disinformation is false information deliberately intended to mislead people.
