The large press has been favorable to pro-business candidate Marina Silva. The social networks, on the other hand, have been weighing in behind Rousset and the PT. Stephanie Kennedy reports on the scene. Analyst Breno Altam, director of Opera Mundi, discusses media culture in Brazil and the role played by the press in the current presidential campaign. Finally, teleSUR reporters hit the streets to ask ordinarily Brazilians their opinions on the role of the press in the election campaign. teleSUR
