NYT: Lula Wins Brazil’s Presidency, in Stunning Blow to Latin America’s Right

New York Times (10/25/26)

This week on CounterSpin: You can smell what US corporate press are cooking with the New York Times headline that the victory of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was “a blow to Brazil’s right.” Would you feel differently if the New York Times in its headline called Lula’s victory a win for Brazil’s poor, and elderly, and working people? Based on their record, the Times imagines and expects that you would.

We talk about Lula’s win—and why your corporate news outlet might tell you to fear it—with Brian Mier. He’s an editor at Panamerican Dispatch and Brazil correspondent for TeleSur English. He didn’t parachute in; he’s lived in Brazil for decades. We hear from him this week on CounterSpin.
