Brasil de Fato
Brazilian online newspaper
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brasil de Fato (English: Brazil de facto) is a Brazilian online newspaper and a radio agency, with branches in Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais, São Paulo, Paraná and Pernambuco.[1] A investigation by The New York Times describes the newspaper as part of a far-left, "global web of Chinese propaganda" that echoes Chinese government's talking points, organized by mogul Neville Roy Singham and operating through American non-profit organizations.[2]

History
Launched on January 25, 2003, on the World Social Forum of 2003[3] in Porto Alegre by social movement organizations like the Landless Workers' Movement, Via Campesina, and Pastoral Care Social Commission, it circulated for more than ten years with a national weekly print version. It was founded by Alípio Freire.[4] Brasil de Fato is funded by groups with alleged ties to Neville Roy Singham.[5]
The newspaper, of national circulation, gathers left-wing journalists, writers, commentators, and other national and international intellectuals, who joined to form Brasil de Fato after they realized the need to a democratization of the press. It intends the debate of ideas and the analysis of facts from the standpoint of the need for social change in the country.
