The most panned event by critics occurred in the eve of the first round of voting ( the primary ) . Rede Globo heavily highlighted the images of the cash confiscated in the context of the Dossiêgate scandal . Today it is known that the deputy of the Brazil federal police who supervised the operation invited four journalists for a private meeting and passed the CDs containing the photos . The audio of meeting was completely recorded on tape and the deputy can be heard asking for the images to be shown in the '' Jornal Nacional '' TV news program the same day , September 29 , 2006 . Rede Globo showed the images in its network programming the same night , but its news program did not cover the tragedy of the Gol Flight 1907 crash in which 154 people died . Thus , while news of the plane crash was being picked up around the world , the Rede Globo live news team was dedicated only to the spread of the political scandal . In its defense , Rede Globo later stated that " it was impossible to announce the news of the crash during the broadcast of the news program , since they had no concrete information about the accident "
