Summary/Abstract: An important problem of reading political texts in the electronic environment is the inability to separate the truth from the manipulation of information and ideological from the speculation. At the same time the interest of the Bulgarian readership to the texts in electronic media is encouraged especially in controversial, sharp speech and dark or colorful metaphors. The examples that I cite refer to Modes of use of metaphorical imagery as Hitler, Trabant and others.
