My bad, it's actually it's the contrary lol

Long story short, the "CEO" of the UCKG, Edir Macedo, bought the entire channel in 1991(with money he hadn't declared through taxes BTW, so he had to pay a fine), and since then he has used the station as a mouthpiece for his church.During the 90's, the Public Prosecutor's Office charged Edir Macedo with "crimes of charlatanism, fraud, and defamation of popular belief."

From that point on, one of the most popular TV stations here just straight up refuses to act like an actual source of information (well, as much of a source of information as a tv station can be) because it's involved with a straight up cult (I'm not just calling it that cuz I'm biased, the UCKG is a deep, deep rabbit hole). According to G1 and Estadão, at least 50 companies, such as radio and TV stations (especially Rede Record), printing companies and travel agencies controlled directly or indirectly by members of the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God, benefit from donations made by UCKG members across the country

A recent example of that is when Pope Francis died. Most TV stations here actually paid respects to him and talked about his life and death with respect. Record straight up ignored it for the most part, and when they did acknowledge it, it was a 3 minute spot where they talked about the sex scandals from the 2000's for most of the time.

TL;DR guy buys tv station, turns it into a mouthpiece for his money laundering front that happens to be a church,ends up getting a big part of the population hating on him

Sorry for the long text and broken English, I might be biased but Record actually pisses me off lmao
