  11. World watch

    Brazil: Whether it's a cultural experience or slum tourism, many tourists now add a trip to Rio de Janeiro's infamous favelas, or shantytowns, to their itineraries. Before 2010, the low-income hilltop neighborhoods were dangerous places controlled by drug gangs.

Now, law and order prevail, and foreign visitors are heading into the hills to see how one-third of the city's population lives.

Second, overhyping will only diminish the importance of the scandal if it doesn't meet presidency-breaking standards. Third, focusing on the political effects simply plays into the hands of Democrats desperately claiming that this is nothing but partisan politics.
