No, disinformation is a definitely thing. Its a cheap and easy way to weaken democratic societies.

While the mainstream media definitely have a bias and tend to de-emphasize certain stories, (that are anti-capitalist, mostly) to say disinformation isnt real, or to say stories (like "russiagate") get labelled as disinformation only because "they dont want you to know the truth" ... that is in fact disinformation. Im sorry.
