Dizem que na guerra a primeira vítima e sempre à verdade é aqui não é diferente. Os.principais meios de comunicações são parte importante nessa guerra, escondendo as mazelas de um lado(direita) e amplificando ou manipulando informações contra a centro esquerda (que não tem santo) principal componente do governo federal.O objetivo é tirar Dilma Rousseff da presidência e anular Lula para as eleições de 2018.
