Olavo´s censored article (developments)

Good morning:

These are the recent developments of the affair Olavo-Zero Hora newspaper.
As you know from here, an article from Olavo to Zero Hora was rejected by the board of Zero Hora newspaper because cited sources with "lack of credibility" - here the full story and article here.


First: Revision
Due to the lack of time, I used the services from google to translate the article. Something got wrong:

" A student, Mirian Macedo, sent the Louise Caroline, vice-president of JOIN, a letter against the abortion program from PT."

Comment: JOIN not exists, the real word is UNE and it means the "National Join of Students" (or National Joint of Students...), so the phrase must be:


'A student, Mirian Macedo, sent the Louise Caroline, vice-president of UNE (National Join of Students - an institutuin controlled by Communist Party of Brazil - PCdoB), a letter against the abortion program from PT. He received the following reply, that I transcribe in the originary orthography: " therefore you are going to lose everything, dear… even your books and the disgusting cleanness of your little children... Take care... Our alliance with Chávez and Fidel will arrive any day at you happy house. And will be a delight ." Louise Caroline, whose level of instruction is more or less equal of Lula's mother at her birth, compensates this handicap with a truculent surplus. She is the ideal college student created by PT's education.'

Second: Olavo was fired
Yes, after he exposed the double standards of Zero Hora, he received a letter from the Editor asking him to stop sending new articles, due to a "ethics code"...
