Folha de S.Paulo
BrazilFolha de S.Paulo is a Portuguese-language daily newspaper based in São Paulo, founded in 1921. In our feed its attention goes first to Brazil and then to the United States, with China, Israel, the Southern Cone and Venezuela further down. Politics makes up nearly half of the output, with governance the largest subject, followed by economy. Its headlines are consistently critical of Donald Trump and the United States, and largely neutral toward Brazil and President Lula.
Political leaning and stance
Folha's headlines are consistently critical of Donald Trump and the United States, framing tariffs, sanctions and threats as pressure on Brazil while attributing his statements with distancing verbs. Brazil and President Lula are treated neutrally, with a more favourable reading for a stretch of the summer. The largest shift concerns the Bolsonaro family: neutral early in the period, then critical and investigative from spring, with Flávio Bolsonaro in focus. Argentina's President Javier Milei is treated critically. The measurement works from the outlet's headlines toward countries and persons; it is not a rating of accuracy.
Based on headlines from January 2026 to August 2026.
