Nowadays, thanks to information published on TV, the Internet, radio or in the press, there is broad understanding of the phenomenon of disinformation as a tool for image creation. Since 2001, after the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, one can see that the media have been a serious threat in the hands of terrorists.
