'Linha Direta' about Eloá doesn't spare Sonia Abrão and exposes media errors.

247 - “After 15 years off the air, Linha Direta returned to Globo's programming under the command of Pedro Bial, addressing a nationally known case: the kidnapping of Eloá Pimentel by her boyfriend, Lindemberg Alves, in 2008. While listing the various errors made by the police in negotiating the hostage's release, the program chose to spare Sonia Abrão, who at the time became known for having interviewed the criminal live. Although it didn't initially mention the journalist, the show made it clear that the work of the press was much closer than it should have been, including Globo itself, and, without mentioning the presenter's name, states that she placed herself in the position of negotiator,” reports journalist Fefito in his article. column on the UOL portal. 

“At one point, the news program made it clear that she wasn't the only one and showed reporter Zelda Mello talking to the kidnapper. Similarly, other conversations were recorded by the station, which shows that the proximity of the press, which constantly reported on the case and made the criminal watch everything in real time, was not hindered by the police. According to César Tralli, interviewed, the agents should have made the journalists' work more difficult, which did not happen. All negotiations and conversations were exhaustively followed throughout the five days of captivity,” adds the journalist.
