Mainstream media is in bad shape everywhere and Brazil is no exception. Unfortunately our media outlets appear to make extra efforts not to anger current government (whatever the current government is).

You want an example? It took weeks for Occupy Wall St to be mentioned on CNN. I don't remember I saw anything on the police abuse happening there either.

Our mainstream media would rather go bankrupt than saying anything positive about Brazil, reasons being extremely political though not allegedely.

Seek alternative media for information.
