spreading disinformation/lies
Explanation:
It depends on your context which one is better. Disinformation is information that appears to be good and is designed to throw the enemy off balance and lead him to make bad decisions. It is much harder for the average reader to recognize disinformation. Lies are usually much easier to detect.
