Last year this column gave its opinion on some reasons that do not allow Record’s journalism to demonstrate exemption and credibility.
The biggest, without a doubt, is the fact that the station is umbilically linked to the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God.
No matter how much it invests in its writing, in its coverage, Record always ends up “betraying” some pillars of journalism, such as exemption and distance.
Old habit in Barra Funda
This happened in the last decade when Record’s journalism was used to attack the newspaper “Folha” with virulence for weeks and weeks.
All because a report by Folha in 2007, on the 30 years of the church, also showed the institution as a “business empire.”
This happened again in 2012, when reporting teams (including even helicopters) were used to report the pastor of the World Church, Valdemiro Santiago.
In the report Santiago was accused of embezzlement and enrichment with tithes of the faithful.
He wondered at that moment: “Just him?”
Santiago was a dissident from Universal and at the time he was trying to attract believers from the Macedo church to his own.
The leader of the World Cup ended up being investigated by prosecutors and sanctioned by the Federal Treasury for the matter.
Last September it was repeated, this time against Globo
After Globo broadcast stories about the Public Ministry’s investigations into Universal, in Rio, the Record reporters were again scheduled to go out into the field and narrate old facts without evidence against the Marinho family.
These were days of stale “stories” (to use a current term) against the rival broadcaster in prime time.
Crivella “driven”
Today, December 22, the situation was repeated, but in reverse.
While all the televisions and websites in the country followed the arrest of Marcelo Crivella, mayor of Rio, bishop of Universal and nephew of Edir Macedo, Record used his journalism to “brown” the pill.
In all the stations the title was evident and clear: “Arrested Marcelo Crivella”.
In Record’s “Fala Brasil”, however, the announcement of the news was:
“Mayor Marcelo Crivella is transferred to the Police Town Hall”.
It’s hard to believe a coincidence or a simple editing mistake. This is the face of Record journalism, this is the truth.
Record’s treatment of the news had an immediate impact on social networks and Internet users.
The station was criticized for allegedly trying to “erase” or distort an accomplished fact: the prison treated only as “driving.”
The column sought out the announcer to speak prior to the publication of this text, but he declined to speak.
After criticism on the Internet, the station changed its treatment and also began to use the word “prison” for what happened to Crivella.
But it was too late. Once again, RecordTV journalism had been used with opaque interests.
Or maybe too transparent.
