Somos maldizentes até estarmos todos na mesma página, nessa altura já repetem de boca cheia o mesmo impensável que nos censuravam.

Enésimo (*)Em boa verdade o 4º webinar desta série 29 jun 2020 painel a debater o futuro deste, mas é um tema que se arrasta desde os primórdios do empreendimento.

Porra gente, admiram-se? Para o final, o habitual: jornalistas precisam-se, estes não dominam o básico do seu ofício.
