Carlos Latuff: double standards
The difference in treatment given by the press to cases of retail and wholesale drug trafficking, according to cartoonist Carlos Latuff; the case of the helicopter belonging to state deputy Gustavo Perrella, caught with more than 400 kilos of cocaine, was reported discreetly.
247 - The case of the helicopter belonging to state representative Gustavo Perrella (SDD-MG), caught transporting over 400 kilos of cocaine, received little attention from the mainstream press. This is especially true when compared to cases of "retail" trafficking, as cartoonist Carlos Latuff defines it in his cartoon on the subject.
