Repito: NÃO HÁ UM ÚNICO, UM MÍSERO, UM COITADINHO QUE SEJA. Não há UM ÚNICO BLOG “DE DIREITA” DENTRE OS DESTAQUES DO IG. This perspective adds intrigue to the plot, as it is not so easy to identify the forces driving behind PHA's release. It is important to mention that IG differentiates itself from the rest of the big Internet outlets by its sympathetic approach to the government of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. While waiting for it, we can speculate and worry about a media witch-hunt that may be starting, promoted by the big media companies and by the politicians who control it, the ones already known to all. If it was not for Azenha, we would be accessing PHA's site without reaching it, and not knowing why… It's almost impossible not to speculate about possible political meddling. What first calls our attention is the suddenness of the portal's decision. Luiz Carlos Azenha's website says that Paulo Henrique Amorim was dismissed from IG on Tuesday, by fax. Enquanto não vem, permite especulações e preocupação de que pode estar começando uma caça às bruxas jornalística, promovida sob as ordens de grandes empresas de mídia e de políticos que todos sabem quem são e que têm ascendência sobre tais empresas. Se não fosse o Azenha, estaríamos acessando o site do PH sem conseguir, e sem saber por que… Fica praticamente impossível deixar de especular sobre as possíveis injunções políticas do fato. O que chama a atenção, de cara, é a intempestividade da medida do portal de internet. O site de Luiz Carlos Azenha informa que Paulo Henrique Amorim foi demitido do IG nesta terça-feira.

The humorous and opinionated style used by PHA in his ‘ Conversa Afiada‘ blog to attack what he called the ‘PIG’ - an acronym for Portuguese words meaning, ‘the party of the coup-plotting mass media’ - was an outlet for ‘left bloggers’, and many posts were quick to denounce IG's surprising move as censorship. The abrupt dimissal of the journalist Paulo Henrique Amorim - or PHA as he is referred too - from his anchor-like position at the IG portal has fueled this week's blogs debate.
