Wait... so you're claiming that misinformation has no meaningful definition, and yet also claiming many news outlets spread misinformation?

Again, what I am saying is that many of these outlets are spreading outright lies and then turning around and labeling anything which contradicts it as "misinformation" and hence the label itself is meaningless. If that seems like circular logic to you then you obviously aren't thinking hard enough....
