Demonstrating the journalistic practice of employing precise language supported by data and historical context, the article advocates for the use of accurate terminology, such as "mis- or disinformation," to describe false or misleading information. It underscores the significance of relying on factual evidence and statistics while avoiding politically charged terms like "fake news" to foster a more informed public discourse.
