A live-streamed radio broadcast featuring right-leaning Brazilian columnist Augusto Nunes and American journalist Glenn Greenwald resulted in a physical dispute on Thursday, BuzzFeed News reports.
Why it matters: The fistfight showcases "the extraordinary political polarization gripping Latin America's largest country," the Washington Post writes.
Context: Nunes accused Greenwald and his husband, Brazilian politician David Miranda, of being on Twitter all day and of "working as a recipient of stolen messages," instead of taking care of their adopted Brazilian children, according to BuzzFeed.
Nunes was referring to leaked messages from Brazilian law enforcement about corruption that were posted on The Intercept, an online news outlet Greenwald writes for.
