So my Father-In-Law watches the news in Brazil tons. I hate it, the goddamn TV is on way too much for my tastes but some interesting things:
They are continuing to crack down on high-profile politicians and top corruption. Lots of HIGH LEVEL people are going to jail, being investigated, people squealing left and right, hidden taped conversations... even the President Temer himself is being investigated
And unlike 'investigations' we are used to seeing in the US etc where top politicians and CEOs etc always seem to walk, it looks like many in Brasil are ACTUALLY GOING TO JAIL.
Super interesting, it was the top story the while time I was there, the country is really seeming to have enough of corruption and the mainstream media seems to be helping to try 'draining the swamp'.
Who knows if its all just a distraction from bigger things or what is actually happening, but I certainly have never seen anything like it in english-speaking countries
