>He is a serious operator, forcing federales to flee.
Obviously the policiais federais weren't expecting a politician to resist arrest with gunfire. And he himself only wanted to send a message, he turned himself in later on. btw, Roberto Jefferson was the whistleblower in the mensalão scandal back in 2005.
>This disinformation bs comes from the US too. Except there it remains on the level of media wankery. The legal frame of defamation (libel and such) already exists, this fake news fad really is just about censorship.
Curiously, the term "fake news", lifted straight from English, is more common than the translation "notícias falsas", as if it's a new concept imported from the Anglophone world. I remember the media beginning to use it heavily and all at once in a single week back in Trump's election. Legally it should've been the same, what changes is only the way it spreads in the Information Age.
Bolsonaro's voters are the epitome of normality, but too many committed Bolsonaro activists are proud of their coarseness or anti-intellectualism, are in for the grift or are even just cynical. The rawest kind of fake news, easily disproven claims, circulates freely in their WhatsApp groups. Sometimes it's just plain threats, and there's no surprise they get suppressed. North-south regional hate also runs strong in every election.
Though of course, everyone engages in deception. Highly accredited media typically won't make outrageous claims without a factual basis, but it'll sideline or ignore inconvenient facts and misdirect consumers into believing what they want. Politicians also do it all the time, and political discourse is riddled with hyperbolic usage of heavy words such as genocide and dictatorship. Apparently Bolsonaro's handling of Covid is a genocide.
The Information Age crisis isn't just that there are alternative channels to accredited media, it's the noise overload discouraging truth-seeking and the erosion of informational reputation - accredited media is no longer universally trusted, but only accepted on sectarian lines. And they've got themselves to blame. Not to mention the people who consider themselves smarter than Bolsonaro's activists and place all their trust in accredited sources still fall for their fare share of easily disproven claims.
The courts, led by Alexandre de Moraes, have been strict in their suppression of fake news, but they aren't impartial and it gets worse when there are conflicts of interest. Back in 2019 Moraes forbid a news site from writing about a fellow Supreme Court justice's name cited in a corruption investigation. This was promptly condemned by accredited media, which called it censorship. But otherwise accredited media and the courts are part of the same power block.
Most of the "fake news" effort is directed to preserving the sanctity and prestige of electronic voting machines. Bolsonaro questioned their reliability since last year, I think that was coping in advance at a possible defeat (and now he did lose, but so far seems like he'll accept it). In part, he and his base are also LARPing as Trump. In turn, Alexandre de Moraes and the courts-media-centrist middle and upper class front are LARPing as the American deep state and Democrats. Though it makes sense that Bolsonaro is coping, I'm not pleased with how aggressively the voting system is defended. Bolsonaro's enemies are eager for a January 6 LARP so they can strike bolsonarismo hard, and have for a long time hyped a Bolsonaro coup d'état and their strong reaction to it.
Lula isn't Biden, he and this centrist front used to be enemies, but right now they're aligned; who knows what the future holds. He also seems to be favored by the United States and the "international community".
