can we please stop accusins everyone of “misinformation” who presents a personal interpretation of events, or who maybe misunderstood something?
good lord. that is not what the word means. misinformation is the deliberate act of obfuscating the truth. it’s not the same as “remembering a number wrong” or “rhetorically equating two things that you personally don’t think are equal”. as a rule of thumb, if there’s a source link, and the source is truthful, that’s not misinformation, that’s interpretation.
