[edit] Criticism
Critics of Veja [1][2][3][4][5][6](links in Portuguese) accuse the magazine of being superficial, biased and elitist. They point that the publication, perpetrates factual distortions and biographical defamation. The magazine's recurring criticisms of the Lula administration are singled out as being part of a greater right-wing bias.
The magazine's attitude towards its media competitors is also sometimes frowned upon, as Veja consistently scoffs at alleged factual mistakes committed by other periodicals.
