Misinformation may or may be malicious. Mistakes happen. Credible sources, whether persons or media sources, will identify and correct their mistakes when presented with the facts. Information becomes malicious when the person or source doubles down on their information when presented with evidence that the facts differ from their statements. Malicious information is often deliberately spread for political reasons in the forms of false content, made-up content, hate speech or other forms of deceptive communication or behavior.
