 The main historical controversy surrounding the television network and the rest of the Globo Organizations media empire centers on both the support for the Brazilian military government and the censorship of pro-democracy developments in its news broadcasts.The military regime, according to critics of the broadcaster, provided government concessions to Marinho family's media group and specifically to the Globo television network which had a very poor coverage the 1984 Diretas Já protests.The Globo network itself admitted in the "Jornal Nacional" 49 years later, pressured by the 2013 protests in Brazil, that the support given to the 1964 Brazilian coup d'état and the subsequent regime was "a mistake".
