Brazil-based US journalist Glenn Greenwald, who broke the story on NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, said Brazilian media is owned by a few families that have a clear political interest in pushing President Rousseff out by \u201cinciting street protests.\u201d<\/div>\n

\u201cWhat makes Brazil so different in terms of its media is that the largest media organizations are almost entirely owned by a very small number of families. It was for a long time. Three, four, now it is five,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Greenwald told RT\u2019s agency Ruptly during an event in Rio de Janeiro on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey all have the same interests, they have very close ties to the political class, they have clear political interests that are not the interest of the overall population. There is very little inhibition about using the media outlets for political activism.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
