Bad information is an illusion. Acting on bad information is a delusion.

The liar is the one intentionally creating bad information so that others may create an act classified "delusional".

The news media is delusional. Incompetent, in collusion, gossip-mongers but not liars. A liar requires the element of knowing from first hand observation. A gossip doesn't know but repeats a story with embellishments intended to intertain (and sell).
