Love triangle irritates Globo and Moro's silence shames "patriots"

The fact is that all this silence and the Minister's statements about apologizing and his evasive maneuvers are already making a fool of many who called themselves patriots and believed in the image of the false hero.

With the backing of SBT and Record, Jair Bolsonaro's government has two safety nets against any eventuality or scandals that might disrupt the already fragile and discredited government.

Silvio Santos, as the owner of the SBT television network is known, is already showering praise on the idea and trying to make us swallow the notion that this is the best path for Brazil.

Meanwhile, Bishop Edir Macedo's television network, leveraging its programming focused on sensationalist news geared towards violence, broadcasts its support for the current government whenever possible.

Both broadcasters are being used as platforms for government campaigns and strategic points of defense.

Jair Bolsonaro and Queiroz have already been featured on SBT, and now it was Flavio Bolsonaro's turn to have a voice on Record.

Both networks make no secret of their support for the government, and the feeling is mutual. This exchange of compliments has been one of the reasons why Rede Globo has harshly criticized the new government in its programming schedule, not only in its news programs, but throughout its entire programming, from comedy to soap operas.

In fact, Bolsonaro, with his populist appeal ranging from washing clothes in front of cameras to displaying his Bic pen while signing decrees and at his own inauguration, has taken the path that pleases his electorate.

By positioning himself as opposed to Globo, he tries to demonstrate that he is against the system. Which is not true! However, another means of mass communication besides the internet is necessary. Hence the love triangle with SBT and Record.

With Silvio's populism on one side and the bishop's network on the other, he has a direct link to government deals and exclusive reports defending against any scandal.

Flavio Bolsonaro, showing no signs of fainting or feeling unwell and adopting a revealing, surprised, and indignant tone, said he was the victim of a hidden investigation and that his bank secrecy had been violated. He then went to the Supreme Federal Court (STF) to question the investigation.

Using the provided setting for a defense speech, where he feigned indignation, for a few moments more critical viewers questioned whether they were actually watching a news report or just another soap opera scene, as the actor, I mean, interviewee, pointed out with perspicacity.

On the other hand, Globo organizations continue to point out and expose all the misdeeds of the "family." Remember that everyone involved in this war is on the other side, that is, the side opposed to the people. They are supporters of the coup! "There's so much venom in the blind snake that they're already biting each other."

The truth that incredulous eyes refused to see came sooner than expected, as fast as the spread of fake news during election season, at full speed, with a driver and everything.

But here's a question:

And what about Moro?

The man who was the face of many who were manipulated, the Superman on magazine covers, and now a super minister?

The same Moro who was once considered a potential president in 8 years by none other than Silvio Santos?

What did he give up as a judge to assume the role of Minister? Without any shame!

Moro is starting to fall into all sorts of awkward situations devised by the members of the government he has submitted to.

The fact is that this boat is not inspiring much confidence, neither for the country nor for its rowers with their erratic rowing.

According to Sérgio Moro, if there is any aspiration for the presidency, he either abandons his role as protector of the Bolsonaro family and jumps ship, or he clings to his status as Minister and sinks along with them.

The fact is that all this silence and the Minister's statements about apologizing and his evasive maneuvers are already making a fool of many who called themselves patriots and believed in the image of the false hero.
