Descripción: Abstract: Strategic misinformation is an unavoidable term when addressing the relationship between politics, democracy and mass media in the 21st century. Deliberate propaganda has a long trajectory in our history, and it has existed as long as media has been essential for those in power to represent their interests to large audiences. This thesis analyzes the role of strategic misinformation in mediatized democracies of current times, considering cognitive bias as a crucial element that is highly exploited during the creation of systematic and targeted messages that are spread over the internet and social media. Also, the research investigates how strategic misinformation may be an incidental factor in certain population groups when they decide to be part of democratic processes. Religion and the diaspora in the U.S. are two important factors for Latino and Hispanic voting decisions and interaction with the news. In the theoretical framework, this thesis emphasizes post-truth and truth from a Foucauldian approach, cognitive bias and propaganda. The thesis implements an experiment with 15 participants (liberals and conservatives) and it is divided into three categories: a survey to measure their political inclination; exposure to strategic misinformation created to analyze different levels of trust in news that may go against their ideological preferences; and finally a questionnaire to analyze if a change in the levels of trust was possible. Religious affiliation of participants was a key factor that represented levels of confirmation bias related to the stories they read during the experiment, all of which were politically ideological.
