The amount of times I heard this on the news and the amount of times I have read it in headlines from the online media...
Basically any big news that came out about democrats, Joe Biden, Hunter, laptop or news in general that was harmful to the democrats. :rolleyes:

‘Misinformation’ Means Whatever the Media Don’t Like, Want Censored
In the age of COVID, it’s hard to get through a full hour of TV news without hearing somebody talk about the worrying rise of “misinformation.” Unfortunately, media’s definition of misinformation includes things that may not be false at all, but are instead just things that they don’t want people talking about.
In media-speak, “combating misinformation” does not mean debate; it entails to a lazy combination of dismissal and censorship.
Case in point: Hunter Biden’s laptop. This was a pretty bad story for then-candidate Biden, and by extension, it was a bad story for his friends in the media. Then, in came the “experts” to save the day. A handful of former intelligence officials who frequently made guest appearances on CNN and MSNBC penned a letter claiming that the whole laptop story had “all the hallmarks” of a Russian disinformation campaign — which is a fancy of saying there was no evidence to prove that it was, but it sure seemed like maybe it could be.
