A nice Yahoo news bite:

UK house prices slump to 11-year low

https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/uk-ho ... 02847.html

But it's not true. For most of the time, house prices have been going up at ridiculous rates!

Then you read more.....

February’s negative annual price growth of 1.1% was the weakest seen since November 2012, Nationwide added.

So it's growth rate, NOT house prices.

Sloppy reporting, writing?

I've heard the terms Misinformation and Disinformation. Aren't they the same thing or is there a subtle difference?

I tend to believe that misinformation could be mistaken, while disinformation is deliberate.
I'm inclined to put the house price report in the misinformation basket - due to a reporter who hasn't a clue.
