247 - Columnist Tutty Vazques, from the Estado de S. Paulo newspaper, gave a new nickname to the president of the Supreme Federal Court, Joaquim Barbosa, after his most recent aggression – this time, against Minister Ricardo Lewandowski. According to Tutty, he is the "Black Bloc of the STF". Read below:

The Black Bloc of the Supreme Federal Court - TUTTY VASQUES

 
O Estado de S.Paulo - 17/08
Right from the first blow that hit Ricardo Lewandowski's glass ceiling in the Mensalão appeals trial, Joaquim Barbosa lived up to his new nickname within the Court: 'Black Bloc of the STF'.

For those watching everything on TV, the moment was awaited like a goal. For or against, it doesn't matter what the viewer thinks, the direct action of the president of the Supreme Court always saves the broadcast of the court sessions from the most tedious nil-nil draw.

To make a poor comparison with Mídia Ninja's coverage of street protests, if there isn't a brawl, nobody can stand four or five hours of the same old nonsense. There were people – certainly tuned into Globonews, the Mídia Ninja of the Mensalão trial – who opened their windows to shout "suck it, Lewandowski!" when Joaquim Barbosa accused the minister of "playing tricks" in court. His Excellency only needs, with all due respect, to be careful not to fall into the temptation of the Black Blocs in the streets: nobody can stand broken windows on TV every day!
