Yes, and my point is that the "fear of becoming the next Venezuela" is purely paranoid and has no basis in reality.

> t seems to me that mainstream media was constantly attacking Bolsonaro during the election, so may I ask what is your evidence for claiming media wanted a far-right government?

It wanted a right-wing, not far-right.

You would just need to read what the media published at the time. There was non-stop attacks on the PT government and talking about the "crisis" which wasn't nowhere as bad as they painted. This distorted people's view of the economic situation, which fueled the anti-PT sentiment: https://www.redebrasilatual.com.br/economia/2015/06/pesquisa...

See also how the media kept talking about the crisis even when talking about stuff going well: https://www.pragmatismopolitico.com.br/2015/07/apesar-da-cri...

Also, you only need to study a bit of Brazil history to understand that Brazilian media has always been right-wing.

The fact that the media attacked Bolsonaro does not contradict this fact. When you have someone who does so many stupid things you can't help reporting them.
