TRUTHDIG’S JOURNALISM REMAINS CLEARThe BBC:
Brazilians are voting to choose a new president to succeed the popular Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
Opinion polls suggest the governing Workers’ Party candidate Dilma Rousseff has a clear lead over Jose Serra of the opposition Social Democratic Party.
Ms Rousseff has enjoyed the full support of President Lula, who is leaving office after two terms with record popularity ratings.
The storytellers of chaos tried to manipulate the political and media narrative in 2025, but independent journalism exposed what they tried to hide. When you read Truthdig, you see through the illusion.
