Political philosophy, that rather disreputable, not very philosophical branch of philosophy, has always wanted to get out of politics, to put an end to this politics of politics, by finally speaking its truth. Ideally, the fond -est desire may be to find or invent a politics unaffected by the politics of politics (a truly moral politics, perhaps, of the kind Kant seems to encourage), but that desire is metaphysical through and through. So-called "cheap politics" is engaged in the politics of politics as soon as that phenomenon is engaged in politics, i.e. from the very first, "naturally" as Aristotle put it. The logos of politics is irreducibly affected by the kind of distortion and deceit that is usually – moralistically – associated with rhetoric or sophistry, with "spin tactics". Politics is always already the politics of politics.Key words: politics of politics, sophistry, spin tactics, rhetorical figure, politics of truth. ; Political philosophy, that rather disreputable, not very philosophical branch of philosophy, has always wanted to get out of politics, to put an end to this politics of politics, by finally speaking its truth.

En les societats democràtiques, els mitjans de comunicació han estat definits com el "quart poder" per la seva influència social i per la seva funció de contrapès davant dels possibles abusos de la resta de poders. En aquest sentit, els mitjans són concebuts com un instrument que vigoritza la salut democràtica d'un país. Aquest treball realitzat a la UAB ha estudiat críticament com els polítics utilitzen els mitjans de comunicació en el seu favor, una pràctica que, heretada de la dictadura, es manté, segons l'estudi, en el cas espanyol, qüestionant així la legitimitat i funció de servei públic que s'espera dels mitjans de comunicació. ; En las sociedades democráticas, los medios de comunicación han sido definidos como el "cuarto poder" por su influencia social y por su función de contrapeso frente a los posibles abusos del resto de poderes.
