Misinformation is another word that has become extremely popular in the last year or two.
I don't think very many people think very deeply about the meaning of words, and how subtle changes in the ones that are chosen can influence the collective consciousness. A lot of people even seem to strongly dislike the topic being mentioned.

They'd probably prefer that you didn't notice they were doing this.
