THE PHENOMENON OF POLITICAL LIES: NEW DENOTATES OF THE DESTRUCTIVE CONCEPT

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the concept of "political lies". The urgency of the problem stated in the article is due to the fact that the conceptual component of the studied concept is widely used in science, social practice, as well as in everyday life. The expanded interpretation of the concept of "political lies" leads to the fact that it begins to be used as a synonym-denotation of similar concepts in terms of content - propaganda, misinformation, fake, post-truth, etc., which have differences. In this article, "political lies" are understood by us as an information-political phenomenon, which represents a certain social conflict in the form of a value gap.

The main approaches that offer different interpretations of the term "lie" are traced, their formation and consolidation in scientific and socio-political discourse can be traced.

There is a provision according to which deception, like lies, occurs when interests and moral norms collide, and the achievement of the desired result becomes difficult or otherwise impossible. A related feature of deception and lies is man's conscious desire to distort the truth. Political lies are an indicator of the inconsistency of political theories and practices with certain values.

A new concept is introduced - "political trumpet", as a complex of political lies, which is used in the coverage of large-scale events, when the goal is the need for a significant shift in public consciousness.
