This chapter explores the concept of disinformation where it is discussed (primarily) as if it were a manifestation of, or a proxy for, political power. Some see misinformation as an ideology; a function of power structures that invisibly shape our lives. Adherents to this point of view often discuss misinformation from a perspective, or approach to critique that Paul Riceour described as a hermeneutics of suspicion. This approach typically involves a relentless pursuit of hidden meanings, and the deconstruction of seemingly naturalistic arrangements. This chapter will analyse a range of literatures (largely from the fields of political economy and critical theory) that discursively frame disinformation (and contingent terms) in this way, using the toolkit introduced in the introductory chapter, to fully explore the bounds of this discourse. It will conclude by exploring the merits and limitations in thinking about disinformation as little more than pure ideology and will consider what this approach contributes to our knowledge of the phenomenon.
