Abstract
Disinformation has created a new global disorder, where the new conditions of production, circulation and consumption of information have made disinformation an important geostrategic tool that, associated with hybrid techniques, requires a reformulation of the action of communication media.Methodology:We analyzed the way the media disseminate information based on five filters indicated by Chomsky and Herman [1]: Filter 1: Importance, ownership and orientation of the benefits of the media; Filter 2: Advertising as the main source of income; Filter 3: The provision of news to the media; Filter 4: The corrective measures as a method to discipline the media; Filter 5: Anticommunism as a control mechanism.Results:The analysis carried out shows that, in addition to false news, real news are manipulated and oriented to polarize, requiring an adaptation of society in the construction of a new cognitive muscle. And social networks cannot counteract the global highways of disinformation that cross countries, continents and languages.
