In today’s world, we can’t always believe in what we see and hear: the manipulation of information by others to influence the general behavior is beyond doubts. Because there are so many mislead by the supposed veracity of given facts in such an increasingly digital environment like ours, the article recognizes the growing importance of Fact-Checking in Portugal, explaining its challenges in a personal but unpretentious approach. Furthermore, the author takes full responsibility himself for reflecting on political discourse and manipulation, not forgetting to consider the spread of fake news and how to avoid them.
