To my knowledge, disinformation about candidates is wrong and it
destroys confidence in our political process, our institution or the integrity of democracy itself. Despite this fact that propaganda aims to persuade by arguments the rumors understanding, misinformation and disinformation are central to debate and research. Create providing false information in error, misinforming Misleading or damaging the information. Big lies are told through networked practices of content production, dissemination and commitment. The networking of great lies reveals the intent and potential extent of the prejudice to democracy.
