| Resumo: | This paper, which integrates a broader research, seeks to identify what are the fake news patterns propagated in the disinformation process about covid-19 and evaluated by the Brazilian fact-checking agencies Fato ou Fake and Lupa. For this, the strategies for spreading false information about covid-19 in the period from January to September 2020 are considered. As methodology, we use part of the procedures associated with the analysis of the media framework proposed, focusing mainly on themes and labels of the information checked. Of the most recurrent issues in the misinformation evaluated by the agencies, it can be said that Politics and Death were the two main ones, closely followed by themes related to cure and prevention, involving famous people. The high frequency of politics reveals the ideological polarization that is experienced in Brazil, slipping even in a global health crisis such as the pandemic of the new coronavirus. |
