An investigation into the seemingly increasingly curtailed press in Brazil.

It's a shame when you can not freely tell an entirly true story. Certinly somewhere a resistance group is brewing.

Why does it seem like a sudden realization that High levels of government silence media that they don't like?
The complete absense of critisizm is exactly what make people not trust a man.
FYI, that works in the opposite for Bush-

In this clip, there was a website that played video clips from liberdade essa palavra . What is the url of that site?

Congrats for the documentary.
Actually the press in Minas Gerais has been runned under the state government interests.
There is an invisible deal to give to the people a positive perception of the state policies at the State.
Let's continue the fight.

Someone's translated and posted a version of the pod with portuguese subtitles on YouTube.
Also, the address to see the documentary "Liberdade, Essa Palavra" mentioned on the pod is: http://amplifique.wordpress.com -
Not everything looks like it is .
I know this topic very well and I assure this video is an absolutly non sence one .Just by informing that the statement of both Brazilian journalists Ugo Braga and Marco Nascimento were already said not to be true by both of them for over a year .
Why has the author of this video hidden this fact ? -
I think this is very strange. If a person records two contradictory testimonies, how are we supposed to know which one is the right and real one? Why can't the first one be false?

I am really trying to understand how come such a respected web chanel like this accepts to post or to continue showing a fact that simply did not happened. That hurts the people involved and especially the integrity of those serious journalists mentioned.

Well done. I am a Brooklynite living in São Paulo and observing the sorts of issues you treat here for a number of years now.
What I see day in and day out -- in the media as well as at first hand in the professional lives of friends in the business here (and a nasty business it can be, too) -- is a very serious cautionary tale about the concentration of media ownership.
Brazilian observers speak often of the "privatization of censorship" here, and I think that is no exaggeration. -
I just cannot believe this video is still going on . As a Harvard student that always log on current.com and believe very much on its information and all, it is just unacceptable. How can I, we rely on this tv/ site when we see such video which does not tell the truth and puts the life and job of serious journalists on the spot ???
This is the opposition of a fine Goverment using this site in a wrong way . Are you going to let this continue happening ?
