虚きょ報ほう
虚報 implies a deliberately fabricated report, while 誤報 can be an honest mistake.
デマ
デマ is a rumor or hoax spread informally, often with malicious intent; 誤報 is more neutral and often used for official or media errors.

Compound of 誤 (go, 'mistake') and 報 (hō, 'report'). The kanji straightforwardly combine to mean 'erroneous report'.
