An in-depth look at the last two years of political turmoil and media power play in Brazil.
Over the past two years, Latin America's largest nation has witnessed one political convulsion after another, with former President Dilma Rousseff removed from power a year ago, and her replacement Michel Temer now facing similar pressure. Coverage of the turmoil by Brazil's media, the majority of which is owned by historically powerful segments of society, has generated widespread accusations of foul play. The country's largest media house, Globo, is seen by many as having played the role of zealous activist rather than objective observer in its rolling, positive coverage of the anti-Dilma protests of 2016, and its alleged support for the opposition that lay waiting in the wings.
