Actually the Editor in Chief for the evening news at Globo is the most powerful politician in this country. It’s more important than the parties, more important than the church. Paulo Amorim: Because he had the right perception, which was, and is, the Globo is the first and most powerful power in this country. Paolo Ganino: I can fight with the Pope, with the Catholic Church, with PMDB, with anyone, but I will not fight with Doctor Roberto” How is it possible that during Brazil’s democratic transition president-elect Neves was willing to face powerful institutions, including the main political party and the Catholic Church, but would not dare to challenge the interests of media mogul Roberto Marinho? Paolo Ganino and Paulo Henrique Amorim were kind enough to pass over the transcripts to Brasil Wire, so that we could run this interview - so important in light of this Coup - in its entirety. The program can be seen in its entirety here. Last month he gave a long interview to Al Jazeera for The Listening Post. He is the author of a new bestseller, O Quarto Poder (the Fourth Power) - possibly the best insider analysis of Brazilian Media hegemony ever written. Since 2006 he has hosted the weekly news magazine show Domingo Espetacular, currently the second most popular program of its kind in Brasil. These criticisms have continued to reach large audiences to this day on the pages of Carta Capital magazine and on his blog Conversa Afiada, which has 450,000 followers on Twitter. During the events leading up to his fall out with Globo during the 1990s he became a vocal critic of the small number of wealthy families who control the Brasilian media. With a career that spans from 1961 to the present, he has covered some of the most important events in Brazil and the World for publications, many of which he later had disagreements with over questions of censorship, including Veja Magazine, Rede Bandeirantes, Record and Rede Globo.

On a recent episode of Al Jazeera’s program, The Listening Post, Paolo Ganino shows how Brasil’s largest media corporation, Rede Globo, did not merely cover the anti-government protests of 2015 that built a pretext to the flawed impeachment process against President Dilma Rousseff (which reputable publications such as Der Speigel, LeMonde and El Pais are all referring to as a Coup d’etat or Soft Coup), they repeatedly broke into regularly scheduled programming and invited Brazilians to come out and participate.
