Investigations indicate that three so-called 'independent' blogs are linked to Bolsonaro.
Three separate investigations show that the largest pro-Bolsonaro blogs (which call themselves "independent media") are linked to Bolsonaro's party, the PSL; the administrators of the websites 'Conexão Política', 'República de Curitiba', and 'Terça Livre' are employees of parliamentarians affiliated with the party, including Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, who employs the administrator of the 'República de Curitiba' profile in his office, and who allocated more than half of the resources she received from the electoral fund to her own husband.
247 - Three separate investigations show that the largest pro-Bolsonaro blogs (self-proclaimed 'independent media') are linked to President Jair Bolsonaro's party, the PSL. The administrators of the websites 'Conexão Política', 'República de Curitiba', and 'Terça Livre' are employees of parliamentarians affiliated with the PSL. The links to the investigations were compiled into a series of tweets (thread) this Monday, the 11th, by journalist and researcher Luiza Bandeira, who previously worked for the BBC and Folha de S.Paulo.

"In January," Bandeira points out, "the report by journalist Daniela Abade revealed that the editor-in-chief of Conexão Política, a pro-Bolsonaro website, is a parliamentary advisor to Alexandre Knoploch, a PSL congressman in Rio de Janeiro.
"Davy Albuquerque is perhaps the key figure in this plot. Like his peers at Conexão Política, he is extremely young. He is 19 years old. He just got into law school, but his Twitter profile has a detail that I still don't know if it's embarrassing because of its ignorance or shameful because of its indecency. Besides calling himself the "editor-in-chief" of Conexão Política, he confesses to being a parliamentary advisor. It doesn't take much searching to find out who the parliamentarian advised by Albuquerque is: Alexandre Knoploch," says an excerpt from the report.
There is yet another allegation involving Bolsonaro's son: "@danielcarvalho_ [Daniel Carvalho] revealed in Folha that the administrator of República de Curitiba works for Flávio Bolsonaro. She transferred funds from the party fund to her husband."
"Journalist Elisangela Machado dos Santos de Freitas, who ran for a seat in the Chamber of Deputies as Elisa Robson (PRP-DF) last year and was not elected, and who allocated more than half of the resources she received from the electoral fund to her own husband, was hired to work in the office of one of the president's sons, Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PSL-RJ), as she herself disclosed on Thursday (7) on Facebook," indicated the reporter from Folha de S.Paulo.
The third accusation relates to the bombshell that exploded this Sunday, with an attack made by Bolsonaro on Twitter against journalist Constança Rezende, from Estado de S.Paulo, based on false information published by the website Terça Livre.
Reporting by journalist Ruben Berta, published on her blogIt was pointed out that Fernanda de Salles Andrade, author of the text published on Terça Livre defaming Constança based on fake news, was appointed at the beginning of February to the office of PSL deputy Bruno Engler, in Minas Gerais, and receives a salary of over seven thousand reais.
