Abstract

This research analyzes how the international news media as El País, CNN, Los Ángeles Times, DW and Euro News reproduce linguistic-discursive strategies used by the American elites and allies to delegitimize the actions and discourses of their enemies as their actions, identity, and discourses. The theory establishes that these linguistic-discursive strategies used by the government and media elites to represent the enemy are in fact the practices and social actions of the enemy recontextualized and revaluated (VAN LEEUWEN, 1993, 1999). The methodology includes 60 news in synchronically order. The conclusions demonstrate that these texts are an ideological articulation built to evaluate if the actions of the Russian enemy are legit.
