Cristina Ferreira's irresponsible opinion is indefensible, and her statement only deepened the embarrassment. While the media landscape erupted in outrage over her comments regarding a minor's assault, the author argues that Ferreira is merely a symptom of a broader societal decline, where vulgarity and amorality have become the norm in television and public discourse. Ferreira is expected to apologise on TVI's evening news, but the author suggests this is merely a performance for ratings, as the public continues to consume the very content they claim to despise.
