Starting a couple of years ago all free political propaganda on tv in Brazil has to be accessible to deaf people. So, almost all of it now has subtitles in Portuguese, and it usually is a quite precise transcription of the spoken text. So, anyone looking for this kind of material in Portuguese can search on youtube for things like "propaganda eleitoral" or "programa eleitoral" (sorting search by date seems to work better). We have municipal elections in October this year so you can expect much more material to be uploaded to youtube in the next few weeks before the elections. There are videos from cities all over the country, so you can also hear different accents (although on tv those are much more subtle).

Hope someone finds that useful.

some examples:

Very useful - if you can stand the content. I'm lucky to live in a country where practically all foreign stuff on TV is subtitled instead of dubbed (only programs for children is dubbed) so we can listen-and-read lots of programs in English and to some extent also German and other languages. However Portuguese is rare in Danish television, even including Brazilian telenovelas, so subtitled political spots could be an alternative (in small doses) for both beginners and intemediate learners.
