| Sumario: | The work of the Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry (CPI) opened in 2021 by the Brazilian Senate to investigate the government's handling of the fight against the pandemic had great repercussion in the press and in society. During this period, a dispute over the public debate agenda was underway, in addition to official pronouncements. This other dispute had as a tool the elaboration and propagation of fake news. In this article we analyze the fake news broadcast during the CPI da Pandemia from the work of checking done by the agencies Lupa and Fato or Fake. We conclude that fake news was used on a large scale and in a systematic way to try to control the public debate agenda and justify government measures. To account for this analysis, we use the concept of factual truth in Hannah Arendt and the classification of fake news proposed by Eugênio Bucci. |
