Jovem Pan fired several journalists this Monday (31/10), one day after the election of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Rumors leaked in the newsroom suggest an editorial change in the group’s journalism. After Jovem Pan News became the spokesman for the far right in Brazil, the group in charge of the station would recalculate its route with the defeat of Jair Bolsonaro.
Thus, to the illustrious dismissed from the beginning of the day, the names of the commentator Guilherme Fiuza and the journalist Maicon Mendes, who participated in the coverage of the 2022 elections, Augusto Nunes and Caio Coppola, were added. But the list also included Guga Noblat, one of the most reflective and “left” lost in the broadcaster’s cast.
Noblat gave his version of his dismissal, suggesting retaliation by the station: “I have just been informed that I am out of Jovem Pan for not defending the radio in the history of censorship. Social network.
The reporter did not join Jovem Pan News employees who accused the TSE (Higher Electoral Tribunal) of censoring the station’s programming for asking that they stop attacking then-candidate Lula with fake news and treat the same treatment as the ‘incumbent, always highly praised. Electoral legislation requires equal treatment of candidates in journalistic vehicles, and Noblat supported the law.
He also retweeted a post from Bob Fernandes that said, “Those who bragged about being ‘censored’ censored Guga, suspended by Pan since Wednesday. And today, Monday, he was fired.”
Fiuza, on the other hand, was the most extreme of the exonerated group. His last tweet before his resignation hinted that the election was rigged. “The truckers are not standing still against the election result. They are standing still because, like the entire population that lives off their jobs, they have called for clean elections and have not been respected. A clean election must be verifiable and does not need censorship. “, he said. she wrote shortly before she was withdrawn.
This post was directly opposed to an editorial published by the group on Sunday evening (30/10), to strengthen the fairness of the elections and the defense of democracy, and to indicate that Jovem Pan “will not be omitted” in the event of a coup. .
“With the proclamation of the president who will lead the country for the next four years, we renew our commitment to Brazil, to democracy, to the Constitution of our citizens and to the powers and institutions that support our Republic”, reads in the main piece of the editorial. “The candidates who contested this year’s elections must have this clear commitment and be the first – whether they have won or not – to express their defense and trust in the sovereign decision of the people.”
Fiuza and Augusto Nunes were already on leave for refusing to stop calling Lula “ex-convict”, “convicted” and “convicted”. Along with them, Ana Paula Henkel and Zoe Martínez were also removed for the same reason. Returning to the “Morning Show” this Monday (10/31), Zoe cried over the election results.
Of all the repressed, Augusto Nunes was the only one to be greeted with a standard statement, including the excuse of leaving “by mutual agreement”, but with the warning of a “confidentiality clause”.
“By mutual agreement, Grupo Jovem Pan and the journalist Augusto Nunes have decided to end the working partnership in force for more than five years, through Augusto’s company, Lauda Comunicação Ltda, without any animosity or value judgment”, states the text. “The terms and details of the delineation will not be commented on because the origin contract is covered and protected by a secrecy and confidentiality clause. The Jovem Pan Group thanks the journalist Augusto Nunes and wishes him success in the new frontiers that he will have to open up.”
Nunes, who also physically assaulted another journalist, host of Jovem Pan’s “Pânico” program, is the target of some lawsuits for slander and defamation in court.
It is unclear whether the layoffs are over or if other Jovem Pan names will still join the roster of future independent YouTubers. Just in case, Zoe Martínez launched her website this Monday to promote her videos.
