"the entire Western intelligence system had been systematically manipulated with clever disinformation" · "it was a highly coordinated disinformation campaign" deliberately deceptive and propagated information.[3][4][5] Early definitions of misinformation focused on statements that were patently false, incorrect, or not factual.[6] Therefore, a narrow definition of misinformation refers to the information's quality, whether inaccurate, incomplete, or false.[7] However, recent studies define misinformation per deception rather than informational accuracy[8] because misinformation can include falsehoods, selective truths, and half-truths.[9]

Truth and falsehood are antonyms of each other1. Truth refers to the state or quality of being true to someone or something1. Falsehood refers to the property of being false1. Success or victory attained through falsehood is always short-lived, because that which is not true cannot be everlasting. The defeat of truth is temporary, and its victory is always eternal2. antonyms
