I don't particularly trust Bolsonaro, his constant twisting of the truth and his ignorance should put us all on alert.

But seriously, this is an article about an agency that is openly anti-bolsonaro and pro PT [1] (his opposing party) claming to have seen a supposed PowerPoint with incriminating evidence (with no source to the PowerPoint and much less any proof of its origin). We can't allow ourselves to drop to this level, it is no better than a witch-hunt this way.

EDIT: It's really interesting to see I am being downvoted for stating an inconvenient truth. Got to love ideological blindness.

The same can certainly be said about the United States.

Do you know what is worse? It's counter propaganda, in fact it's an elephant in the room.

Suddenly, people around the world will notice that things are not as bad as initially reported. Thus, Brazilian government will be "allowed" to exploit a larger area without any pressure.

That is something that unfortunately happens almost every year: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/437017.stm

That doesn't make it any less of an elephant in the room.

If anything, it makes it more of a herd of elephants in the room.

Are you not conflating being anti Bolsonaro with being pro PT? Because that's what your link says.
