Two very different responses to the day O Globo stood still — publishing an editorial in which it (kind of) takes responsibility for its support for the 1964 coup. Luis Nassif evaluates the publication as a charm offensive, whereas Pedero Ekman of Intervozes disccovers a woeful lack of candor.

It sounded artificial.

The previous day, em São Paulo, young protestors threw shit at its São Paulo headquarters. Except for Veja magazine, there is no news organization capable of awakening such love and such hate.
