| description | The ideal scenario in a democratic constitution, especially when it is in the pre-election period, would be a healthy confrontation of opinions with arguments based on true events, with content that will concern the general public. Thus, the citizens would have a clearer critical thinking and would make it easier to make the right decision on the basis of their interests, but also to better serve the public interest. Unfortunately, this seems to be a utopia, as misinformation and fake news seems to be used by various actors in the public sphere, trying to falsify reality in the struggle for their own dominance. In the article we look at the presence of misinformation in the public life of the United States during the 2016, the 2020 presidential election and the events of demonstrations in Capitol. We also see the presence of the phenomenon in France’s presidential election in 2017 and 2020 as well as Nigeria in 2019. This is how the global character of the problem is highlighted. |
