Quem está ligado nas redes sociais e nas notícias do nosso dia a dia já percebeu que virão dias sombrios pela frente, com um radicalismo tomando conta de muita gente. E parte da “culpa” por tal cenário é de nossa imprensa, que muitas vezes segue interesses políticos e comerciais. O radicalismo é tanto que chegamos a nos deparar com um colunista de uma grande revista do país chamando Gabriel García Márquez de idiota no obituário do mesmo, pelo simples fato do Nobel da Literatura ter uma posição ideológica de esquerda.Conhecido por comédias como O Homem que Copiava, Meu Tio Matou um Cara e Saneamento Básico, O Filme, Jorge Furtado decidiu focar justamente na cobertura jornalística dos dias de hoje neste novo documentário.
