Why do we see so much bullshit about Brazil from the American television?

. Your journalists count on your ignorance about Latin America to create a stigmatized caricature of our country. Brazil is one of the largest economies of the planet. Our country is richer than Russia and Italy. Our quality of life is considered high, better than in China, for example. But we always see all kind of bullshit from your channels, like CNN. For example, saying that brazilians live in shanty-towns is a joke. Only 3,5% of our population lives in that conditions, according to IBGE (Brazilian statistics institute). The majority of brazilian population is middle class, and 87% lives in cities, and not in the middle of the jungle, like some greengos journalists say.
