Misinformation

Referring to a willful spreading of information that serves a political or financial agenda. Usually misinformation is manufactured in a way that it supports commonly held believes and is thus readily taken for truth. In politics, this phenomenon was described in C. H. Aachen's essay "It Feels Like We're Thinking: The Rationalizing Voter and Electoral Democracy"(http://www.princeton.edu/~bartels/thinking.pdf). To prove misinformation wrong is a long, unrewarding process. Usually misinformation accumulates until a catastrophic event uncovers the lies.

The unwillful act of spreading false information can be called bullshit (using Harry G. Frankfurt’s definition of the word), ignorance or anything else.
