It reviewed several theses and articles which focus on strategies and phenomenon uproar in the elections, such as creating pseudoo images and events, or deceptive political advertising. 'Theory-based generalization' approach was used in this research, as well as secondary qualitative analyses.

Finally, it proposes political parties and presidential candidates to practice more ethical ways and smarter strategy to lure its constituences, rather than using 'machiavelli-way'
