A speaker, likely a judge or politician, argues that a statement made by candidate Jair Bolsonaro about TV Globo receiving billions of reais from official government propaganda is not absolutely false, as claimed by a note from TV Globo. The speaker points out that the note itself acknowledges that TV Globo receives official propaganda funds, and that the amount received between 2000 and 2006 was 10.2 billion reais. The speaker also notes that the candidate's statement was made in response to a question from an interviewer and was not meant to be taken literally. The speaker concludes that the Superior Electoral Court should not take a position on the matter, as it is not possible to determine the truth of the statement without more context.
