Controversy

Rede Globo had for many years a near-monopoly on viewers, and with it, the power to influence presidential election results, with the use of news favorable to its proprietors' preferred candidates. In 1989, it broadcast an edited debate between Fernando Collor de Mello, who it favoured, and Luiz Incio Lula da Silva (current President), destroying the latter's chances of winning. On January 24, 1984, the network didnt reveal that a protest in Sao Paulo was against the dictatorship. It said the people when there to celebrate Sao Paulo's anniversary. In 1992 BBC made a documentary "Beyond Citizen Kane" about the power and influence of the network in Brazil. The Marinho family got the tape out of circulation.
