The media said the case against Brazil's former President Bolsonaro for supposedly plotting a coup was a slam dunk. It wasn't. A Supreme Court Justice appointed by the ruling Left-wing Workers Party just annihilated the prosecution as fraudulent. Incredible to watch.

The statement criticizes a New York Times article, labeling it as propaganda rather than journalism.

The statement is part of a broader conversation questioning the fairness of the trial and the media's representation of it.
