DCM: Folha has started doing "war journalism"
Journalist Paulo Nogueira uses the term coined by the editor-in-chief of the Argentinian newspaper Clarín to describe what the publication did to destroy Cristina Kirchner's government when commenting on a Datafolha poll from last weekend; "The war journalism of the Brazilian media did not end with Dilma's removal. It continues. The difference is that, if before the objective was to destroy Dilma, Lula and the PT, the goal now is to protect and elevate Temer," he says.
