BRAZIL, ARGENTINA, URUGUAY – NEOLIBERAL RECONQUERING OF LATIN AMERICA

BRAZIL AND THE NEOLIBERAL MEDIA – PROPAGANDA WAR

DILMA ROUSSEFF met with international media without BRAZILIAN giants like GLOBO, the country's largest media outlet, which has been accused of coup-mongering.

As BRAZIL spirals further into its worst political crisis seen in decades, President DILMA ROUSSEFF has tried to break the one-sided media narrative on the situation that’s been dominated by international press swooning over anti-government protests along with elite-backed local media accused of whipping up support for a coup.

MAURICIO MACRI AND THE CLARIN MEDIA GROUP

Since 2003 the media giant CLARIN GROUP and LA NACION have been supporting MACRI and thus are the main and powerful “invisible opposition” which oppose the current government.Misinformation, lack of objectivity etc. both in CLARIN GROUPS TV News Channels as well as print media are daily occurrence in ARGENTINA. Mainstream Media are facing “credibility issues” around the globe and are engaged in an Information war, but in ARGENTINA the Info war has reached staggering proportions and thus cannot be seen as an impartial entity.

ROUSSEFF held a private media briefing with journalists from the NEW YORK TIMES, GUARDIAN, LA JORNADA, LE MONDE, EL PAIS, and DIE ZEIT. Meanwhile, she sent her chief of staff JAQUES WAGNER to meet with other international media in RIO DE JANEIRO. BRAZILIAN media were blocked from attending.

WAGNER said BRAZILIAN media coverage is “out of step” with the crisis with “obvious” efforts to campaign tirelessly for a particular end, LA REPUBLICA reported.

ROUSSEFF spoke about the fragility of BRAZIL’S relatively young democracy since the military dictatorship ended in 1985, saying that although the days of strong-arm coups are a thing of the past in LATIN AMERICA, BRAZIL is living an attempt at a “coup against democracy” through an impeachment process without legal footing.

FACING ‘COUP AGAINST DEMOCRACY,’ BRAZIL TURNS TO GLOBAL MEDIA

“We in BRAZIL have had military coups. In a democratic system, coups change their method,” ROUSSEFF said, according to an interview published in EL PAIS. “And impeachment without legal basis is a coup. It breaks the democratic order. That’s why it’s dangerous.”

And local media has played a role. In BRAZIL’S intensely concentrated media landscape, outlets like GLOBO, owned by and aligned with the country’s dictatorship-linked economic elite, have been criticized for “coup-mongering” and supporting the idea of military intervention.

Analyst SYLVIA MORETZSOHN, media professor at the Fluminense Federal University, argues that GLOBO has acted more like a political party than a media outlet by using its power to sway public opinion against the president. MORETZSOHN told BRASIL DE FATO that GLOBO has used the “noble cause” of combatting corruption worked to “create the conditions for a coup.”

With ROUSSEFF’S Workers’ Party, or PT, pushing progressive policies for over a decade since the election of her predecessor LUIZ INACIO LULA DA SILVA in 2002, the country’s wealthy elite and right-wing political factions have grown frustrated by their inability to boot the PT from power at the ballot box.

ROUSSEFF’S opponents have latched on to widespread corruption scandals and increasing probes into fraud as a justification to try to take down the government by trying to impeach the president or forcing her to resign.

The irony is that opposition politicians, including Vice President MICHEL TEMER, who would take over if ROUSSEFF stepped down and house speaker EDUARDO CUNHA, who is spearheading the impeachment attempt, are more deeply embroiled in corruption than ROUSSEFF or her PT.

“I recommend that you ask who benefits from this,” ROUSSEFF told EL PAIS. “Many of whom haven’t even appeared on the scene, but they are behind, at the bottom.”

The same ELLIOTT ASSOCIATES and AURELIUS CAPITAL MANAGEMENT vulture funds that have preyed on ARGENTINA for years to overturn its sovereign debt restructuring and force it to its knees, are also targeting BRICS member BRAZIL for destabilization, using a corruption scandal at the giant state oil firm PETROBRAS to either force President DILMA ROUSSEFF into line, or oust her from office. ROUSSEFF was the head of PETROBRAS'S board of directors from 2003 to 2010, during the time an alleged bribery and corruption scandal at the company took place. The LONDON ECONOMIST has suggested she could be impeached.
