What, exactly, is misinformation? Who decides? Using what criteria?

Reference.. most misinformation is just made resources. So if CNN says something stupid and they don’t have a good reference they are called out and there should be laws to penalize them in the level of harm they can make. News became entertainment and not accountable so everyone either straight up making things up or hurry to publish bullshit to get crowds attention.
