Famous Brazilian Journalist "Caco Barcellos" Criticizes Journalists who cover one of the most famous corruption scandals in Brazil's history: "They only do what prosecutors already do"
(Freely Translated)

Barcellos criticized the editorials who cover the "Operação Lava Jato", in English "Operation Car Wash", one of the biggest scandals regarding corruption in Brazil. According to him, communication networks and their journalists have been limiting themselves to only "focus" on the facts that are already passed along by the Public Ministry. Head of the investigative news report "Profissão reporter", he explains the reason why he does not cover the topic himself.
In a interview with "A Notícia", he explains:

Portuguese: "A gente prefere trabalhar com luz própria, a gente não mexe com dossiê dos outros. Tem jornalista demais trabalhando nisso. Mas ali é trabalho de reprodução. O nosso é mais ativo, com a nossa investigação, não com a dos outros"

English:" We rather work with no interference from others, we don't mess with people's dossiers either. There are already a lot of journalists working on that. But they only focus and talk about what had already been said by public bodies. Our work is more active, with our own investigations, not other's."
