Our Flag Will Never Be Red

Our Flag Will Never Be Red

Pablo López Guelli
Who is Jair Bolsonaro and how he became the president of the sixth most populous country in the world? "Our flag will never be red" answers this question by examining the influence of the Brazilian media in the socio-political events that took place from 2013 to 2019. Brazil has "6 berlusconis" that together control 90% of the national audience in all types of media. According to the interviewed, the Berlusconis were responsible for one of the greatest journalistic frauds of all times: a massive cheat that led people to believe that Brazil could become a "communist country". The fake narrative destroyed people’s confidence in the traditional media and threw Brazil towards fascism.
