To be specific, I think only those sources spreading the (mis/dis)information to those people would be considered the fifth column. The ones they're manipulating would be useful targets to spread it further, but I think, by definition, they wouldn't be called members of the fifth column. This is only semantics though and it doesn't really change anything about what you said.
