Aside: I've distinguished these by calling what happens on the left “misinformation” and on the right “disinformation” because when incorrect ideas catch on in left-leaning media, the origins are usually bad headline writers, publicity hounds, experts who pop off the tops of their heads without doing the research, and simple errors which get compounded when they are repeated.

In other words, they are not deliberate lies.

But anything that removes us from the truth hurts democracy. . .
