Based on the tension between concepts such as objectivity and opinion in journalism, spectacular polarization and the approach to health by journalism, this article reflects on the legitimacy of the sources to which participants in O Grande Debate, transmitted by CNN Brazil, resort. Fourteen editions of this panel were observed, recording the strategies employed by commentators in order to identify patterns of legitimacy and legitimation of the sources. We could detect that official or documentary sources were exploited, as well as false or pseudo sources, contributing to the equivalence between opinion, fact and untruth in the debates about the new coronavirus.
