The difference is, that with lies, you have to know it is untrue and say it anyway, where with misinformation, there is a possibility that the one telling it believes it is true.
Well that is how I understand the word lying defined:
Say something you know is not true in order to manipulate others.
Or again different said: a lie is always misinformation, but misinformation is not always a lie.

Hope that is understandable 😇
That is why I try to think now in terms of disinformation, more than merely misinformation, when it seems intentional.
