FUD - Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt - is a common label for a certain class of misinformation. However, I think it gets used for things that are based on someting other than uncertainty and doubt. Some misinformation is based on pure ignorance of basic information and utter bullshit, made-up nonsense. I believe much of these two things are based in a fear of something, so the "F" can stay. So I advocate for creating a new acronym. FIB: Fear, Ignorance, and Bullshit
