Abstract

This paper presents a reflection around concepts of disinformation proposed by Wardle (2016) and Fallis (2014), applied to brazilian telejournalism, based on a case study of the talk show Opinião no Ar, which is broadcasting by Rede TV channel. The methodology consists of analyzing the content around news associated to the Covid-19 pandemic in the aforementioned program, based on the hypothesis that this product has been configured as a spokesperson of the bolsonarist far right ideology. In the partial results, we recommended the stimulus of Media Competence in formal education to fight against the informational disorder caused in the audience by this kind of content disseminated in brazilian’s mass media.

Keyphrases: Bolsonarism far right ideology, Brazilian's mass media, Telejournalism, disinformation
