The press, in Rio in particular, covers absolutely EVERYTHING that goes on in the city and country. Be it money-laundrying scandals, violent crimes, police corruption, the horrendous situation of Rio's healthcare system. You name it.
Their favourite characters (to slash on) include Lula, our president, Cesar Maia , Rio's mayor (in his last weeks as mayor), George Bush, sometimes Putin, whoever else is in the limelight and, of course, Dunga, our national coach.
Agression aside, touches of humour certainly enhance the "not-so-easy-to-read" pages (for obvious, bloody reasons).
This morning, it featured on the first page of "O Globo" (best selling serious paper) this charicature of Rio's Cesar Maia ("the only mayor in the world who became a full-time blogger during his mandate" - anonymous author).
I loved it.
It says: Meanwhile in "ostrasystem". the mayor says: "tell me about you, George"
