The research monitored mentions of the terms “fake news”, “truth”, and “lie” in the publications of the candidates Lula and Bolsonaro on their Twitter profiles during the electoral campaign for president in the Brazilian elections of 2022, in order to understand the meanings produced in their speeches, following the French Discourse Analysis methodology. Contemporary studies about disinformation on digital platforms bring the theoretical problematization of concepts. As a result, we have a rhetorical posture in Jair Bolsonaro’s posts to reinforce a particular view of “truth” and “lie”-no citations were found for the term “fake news”. On the other hand, Lula seeks to confirm the integrity of his statements or reiterate the falsity of what his opponent says, using discursive techniques similar to those of professional fact-checkers, concentrating all citations on the expression “fake news” in the research corpus.
