My guess is that he may have dropped a few pieces of misinformation but it's probably when someone figured out something, and Jim doesn't want it getting out. Or he wants to seed doubt because he may have let some things slip he doesn't want out. I think when talking about the books he's being honest. However when asked specifically about the prisoner on DR and him saying "You couldn't understand Merlin's English", something like that could be misinformation. Or what he said about Mac.
Book information is probably accurate, specifics about characters, or situations are in doubt, I think.

I know two facebook groups that jim has posted in(but I don't know which group the screenshot is from):
Jim Butcher Appreciation Society
Jim Butcher Idolization Tribe

I wasn't expecting to meet Lucifer until the very end of the series. The way Jim mentioned us seeing him seemed like he meant relatively soon rather than in 2 decades when were reading the BAT.
I don't want Mac to be god because I don't want Dresden to be able to say "my beetle was in the shop one time so I borrowed GOD's Trans-AM"
What he says about Lucifer makes sense. That doesn't meant Lucifer doesn't want to make humans into a hollow shell of what we are now.
So.. that tree stuff is basically a clear declaration that the outsiders are far from alone in wanting to destroy the universe.
maybe we shall meet some new major enemys in peace talks.

We know of one at least: that time he told us Harry was going to Grant Fidelaccius to somebody in TC and it turned out to be Nicodemus. It was a deliberate mislead that was sorta kinda true from a certain perspective once you saw the context.
But ya, if 1/4th is wrong anyway, and he's been sprinkling active disinformation into the mix as well, it really kills the whole effort.
raidem:
I still think Nicodemus will get a Sword in the End.
Did you guys note that Jim said Nicodemus is more dangerous to the Universe, in some ways, than Lucifer.
--- Quote ---Jim: Yeah and most of those, at least the ones I've seen, are based on misheard or misunderstood statements. And I have knowingly dropped misinformation based on those kind of fights at least twice.
Trust no one, not even the author! Especially the author!
--- End quote ---
The two bits of misinformation was in reference to the arguments referred to by the Fan after a convention or Q&A that Jim attributed to them having misheard, misunderstood things. Jim said he then sprinkled misinformation to add to the confusion surrounding it. I believe Jim added this misinformation either in Q&A's or in the books to keep people guessing with respect to the heated debate.

Only 1/4 of the non-sourced WOJ's that is spread right after conventions, Q&A's. I mean, I seriously doubt he is considering the transcribed material from videos as potentially in error. I think the 1/4 error is more associated with I heard this, then I paraphrased it and passed it along.
--- Quote ---Fan: But...Now I don't know which 25% of the WOJ website to believe?
--- End quote ---
This is the Fan incorrectly interpreting what Jim just said. And the Fan doesn't really know what goes into sourcing the WOJ website. It isn't paraphrases. It is often direct transcriptions from videos, or written quotes by Jim himself.
