no, thats disinformation. disinformation is willful malicious intent to spread misinformation, knowing that its wrong info in order to achieve a certain result(such as propaganda by russia, or giving wrong intel to an enemy). misinfo is just saying potential info that may or may not be true, and no fact checking, and just ignorant to the info.

The reporters who propagated lies about WMDs in Iraq or beheaded babies in Israel probably think they’re telling the truth or something close.
